Local Environmental Conditions
Around 42% of the area near this location in Fitzgerald Bay is open grassland, with a good deal of scrubland and some open water. Grass pollen is plentiful, while pigweed leads among the weeds. In the immediate area, scrubland contributes pollen from shrubs, grasses and herbs. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load.
Grasses take over in mid-spring and keep pollen in the air into early fall. Later, pigweed keeps weed pollen in the air from early summer into early fall. In this dry climate, pollen can linger in the air for long spells without rain. Day to day, sunshine and wind lift the counts, while a spell of rain can bring them down sharply.

Does pollen in Fitzgerald Bay 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 Fitzgerald Bay 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 Fitzgerald Bay, 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.
