Local Environmental Conditions
Around 34% of the area near the heart of Merbein is woodland, with a good deal of open grassland and some scrubland. Close to a stream or river, riverside vegetation contributes to what is in the air. With this much woodland around, trees are an important local pollen source. Grass pollen is plentiful, while pigweed leads among the weeds.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in early spring. Then come the grasses, strongest in mid-spring and fading by early fall. The season closes with pigweed from early summer into early fall. In this dry climate, pollen can linger in the air for long spells without rain. Dry, sunny and breezy weather raises levels within each period, and steady rain brings them down.

How often is the Merbein pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Merbein 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 Merbein 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 Merbein, 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 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. |
