Local Environmental Conditions
Around 49% of the area near this site in Arakoon is woodland, with a good deal of open water. With a watercourse close by, riverside vegetation contributes to the local mix. The surrounding woodland makes trees an important local pollen source. Grass pollen adds noticeably to the overall load. Clearings, tracks and woodland edges let grasses and other flowering plants grow among the trees.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in early spring. Grasses take over in early spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into mid-fall. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. Mold spores are in the air most of the year too, rising after rain.

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