Local Environmental Conditions
Absent nearby tree cover or a waterway, wild grass growing on open land likely shapes the local pollen profile most. Small shifts in elevation or soil type can move these figures a little either way. Neighboring areas with similar land cover tend to show a closely matching pollen mix. Year-to-year swings in rainfall and wind can shift this picture somewhat either way.
Grass pollen rises through spring toward a November high point, holding through the summer months before tapering off by late February. This general pattern holds fairly steady across the surrounding region from year to year. Local weather swings can shift these windows slightly, but the overall order tends to hold.

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 McDouall Peak 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 McDouall Peak, 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 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
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. |
