Local Environmental Conditions
Around 58% of the area near this site in Black Head is open water, with some woodland and open grassland. With a stream or river close by, riverside vegetation contributes to the local mix. Grasses, plantain and pigweed growing in the surroundings are the main non-tree sources of pollen. Roadside verges and patches of open ground provide further room for grasses and weeds.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in early spring. Then come the grasses, strongest in mid-spring and fading by mid-fall. Plantain and pigweed flower through much of the warmer half of the year. In warm, humid weather from midsummer into early fall, mold spores add to the mix, especially after rain.

Does pollen in Black Head 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 Black Head 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 Black Head, 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.

| 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. |
