Local Environmental Conditions
This site in Charlton is surrounded mainly by open grassland, with some farmland and woodland. Grasses and weeds such as pigweed round out the local mix. Roadside verges and patches of open ground provide further room for grasses and weeds. Wind carries pollen over long distances, so the wider landscape also shapes what arrives here.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in early spring. Grasses take over in late spring and keep pollen in the air into early fall. Later, pigweed keeps weed pollen in the air from early summer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in spring, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

Does pollen in Charlton 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 Charlton 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 Charlton, 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.

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. |
