Local Environmental Conditions
This site in Picola is heavily wooded. The damp ground beside a stream or river nearby supports trees, shrubs and reeds, adding to local pollen. Woodland on all sides makes trees an important local pollen source. Grass pollen is plentiful, while pigweed leads among the weeds. Undergrowth, clearings and woodland edges add smaller amounts of grass and herb pollen.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in early spring. Then come the grasses, strongest in late spring and fading by early fall. The season closes with pigweed from early summer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in spring, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels. Day to day, sunshine and wind lift the counts, while a spell of rain can bring them down sharply.

Does pollen in Picola 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 Picola 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 Picola, 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. |
