Local Environmental Conditions
The landscape around the center of Drik Drik is heavily wooded, with a good deal of open grassland. With a watercourse close by, riverside vegetation contributes to the local mix. With this much woodland around, trees are an important local pollen source. Grass pollen is a substantial part of the local mix as well.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in early spring. Grasses take over in early summer and keep pollen in the air into late summer. Weeds on open ground add a smaller late peak from early summer into early fall. Day to day, sunshine and wind lift the counts, while a spell of rain can bring them down sharply.

Does pollen in Drik Drik 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 Drik Drik 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 Drik Drik, 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. |
