Local Environmental Conditions
Around 93% of the area near this site in Braidwood is open grassland. Along a watercourse nearby, trees, shrubs and reeds grow in the damper ground and add their own pollen. Grass pollen is plentiful, while plantain and pigweed lead among the weeds. Roadside verges and patches of open ground provide further room for grasses and weeds.
Grasses take over in late spring and keep pollen in the air into early fall. Plantain and pigweed flower through much of the warmer half of the year. Rain is heaviest in fall, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels. Actual levels on any given day depend on the weather, with dry, breezy days the worst and wet days the mildest.

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