Local Environmental Conditions
This location in Leicester is surrounded mainly by woodland, which covers around 88% of the nearby area. Along running water nearby, trees, shrubs and reeds grow in the damper ground and add their own pollen. Allergenic trees nearby include oak and maple. Undergrowth, clearings and woodland edges add smaller amounts of grass and herb pollen.
Oak and maple lead the season in late spring, as temperatures climb to around 15°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Then come the grasses, strongest in early summer and fading by early fall. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again. Actual levels on any given day depend on the weather, with dry, breezy days the worst and wet days the mildest.

How often is the Leicester pollen forecast updated?
The Leicester pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Leicester 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 Leicester 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 Leicester, 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. |
