Local Environmental Conditions
Around 69% of the area near the center of Atholwood is woodland, with a good deal of open grassland. Trees are an important local pollen source, given how much woodland surrounds the area. Grasses add a sizeable share of the local pollen. Roadside verges and patches of open ground provide further room for grasses and weeds.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in early spring. Grass pollen follows, peaking in mid-spring and easing off by early fall. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. Fall is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen. Within each of these periods, warm, dry and windy days push levels higher, while rain clears the air.

Does pollen in Atholwood 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 Atholwood 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 Atholwood, 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. |
