Local Environmental Conditions
This location in Acton is surrounded mainly by woodland, which covers just over 75% of the nearby area, with some built-up land. With running water close by, riverside trees such as poplar contribute to the local mix. Of the trees nearby, birch, maple and oak are the ones that matter most for allergies. Beyond the trees, grasses matter a great deal, and mugwort and ragweed are the main weed sources.
Birch, maple and oak lead the season in mid-spring, as temperatures climb to around 10°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grass pollen follows, peaking in early summer and easing off by early fall. The season closes with mugwort and ragweed from midsummer into early fall. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.

How often is the Acton pollen forecast updated?
The Acton pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Acton come from nearby or far away?
Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Acton based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Acton, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
