Local Environmental Conditions
The area around this part of Cleland is heavily wooded. Close to a watercourse, riverside trees such as willow and poplar contribute to what is in the air. The key allergenic tree nearby is olive. Grasses also feature strongly, alongside plantain and pigweed among the weeds. Compared with most places, olive is especially widespread here, which makes it one of the key local allergens.
Tree pollen peaks in late spring, when the weather warms to around 15°C and olive is in full flower. Then come the grasses, strongest in late spring and fading by early fall. Plantain and pigweed flower through much of the warmer half of the year. The olive period in late spring is usually the most intense time of year here.

Does pollen in Cleland 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 Cleland 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 Cleland, 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. |
