Local Environmental Conditions
The area around Ma Ma Creek is mostly open grassland, with a good deal of farmland and some woodland. Close to running water, riverside vegetation contributes to what is in the air. Grass pollen is plentiful, while pigweed leads among the weeds. Pasture and uncultivated field edges in the farmland provide room for grasses and weeds.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in early spring. Grasses take over in mid-spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. Later, pigweed keeps weed pollen in the air from early summer into early fall. In warm, humid weather from late summer into late fall, mold spores add to the mix, especially after rain.

Are pollen levels in Ma Ma Creek 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 Ma Ma Creek, 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.

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. |
