Manchester's parks, including Dorrs Pond and the Merrimack River corridor, feature oak, birch, and maple as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding New Hampshire woodland and farmland contribute substantial tree and grass pollen, while the inland valley setting means rainfall is more frequent than on the coast, providing regular interruptions to exposure.

When is pollen season in Manchester?
Manchester's pollen season in New Hampshire opens with maple and birch from late March, slightly later than southern New England cities due to the cooler inland climate. Oak follows through April and May, with grass peaking through June and July. Ragweed extends the season into September. The Merrimack River valley channels airflows, while surrounding New Hampshire woodland and farmland contribute substantial tree and grass pollen.
How often is the Manchester pollen forecast updated?

The Manchester pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Manchester 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 Manchester 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 Manchester, 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.
