The pollen calendar in Northampton opens with maple and elm starting March then birch and oak builds through April and May. Grass follows, peaking through June and July, while ragweed and mugwort keep weed pollen elevated into September. A relatively short growing season compresses tree, grass, and weed pollen into a more intense stretch, a defining feature of the local season.

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

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.

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 Northampton, 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.
