Local Environmental Conditions
This part of Mount Barney is heavily wooded, with some open grassland. Along a stream or river nearby, trees, shrubs and reeds grow in the damper ground and add their own pollen. So much tree cover makes trees an important source of pollen locally. Grasses are also a significant pollen source here.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in early spring. Then come the grasses, strongest in mid-spring and fading by early fall. Weeds on open ground add a smaller late peak from early summer into early fall. Mold spores join in from midsummer into mid-fall, when damp, warm spells let them thrive.

Does pollen in Mount Barney 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 Mount Barney 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 Mount Barney, 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. |
