Local Environmental Conditions
The landscape around this location in Nelse is heavily wooded, with some open grassland. With a watercourse close by, riverside vegetation contributes to the local mix. In the immediate area, tree cover makes trees an important source. Roadside verges and patches of open ground provide further room for grasses and weeds.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in mid-spring. Grasses take over in early summer, with temperatures around 15°C, and their pollen lingers into late summer. Rain is heaviest in spring, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.

Does pollen in Nelse 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 Nelse 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 Nelse, 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.

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. |
