Local Environmental Conditions
Around 42% of the area near the heart of McCracken is built-up land, with a good deal of open grassland and some woodland. Along a stream or river nearby, trees, shrubs and reeds grow in the damper ground and add their own pollen. Among allergenic trees nearby, olive is the main source. Grass pollen is significant here, and pigweed and plantain contribute weed pollen.
Olive leads the season in late spring, as temperatures climb to around 15°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grasses take over in late spring and keep pollen in the air into early fall. The season closes with pigweed and plantain from early summer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in winter, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

How often is the McCracken pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in McCracken 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 McCracken 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 McCracken, 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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
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. |
