Local Environmental Conditions
This site in Heifer Station is surrounded mainly by woodland, with a good deal of open grassland. A stream or river nearby means riverside vegetation is part of the local pollen picture. So much tree cover makes trees an important source of pollen locally. Grass pollen is a substantial part of the local mix as well.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in early spring. Grasses take over in mid-spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. Mold spores join in from midsummer into mid-fall, when damp, warm spells let them thrive.

Are pollen levels in Heifer Station 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 Heifer Station, 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.
