Local Environmental Conditions
This location in Pokolbin is surrounded mainly by open grassland, with a good deal of woodland. With a stream or river close by, riverside vegetation contributes to the local mix. Olive is the most prominent allergenic tree nearby. Grass pollen is plentiful, while plantain and pigweed lead among the weeds. Olive is unusually common here compared with most other locations, making it a particularly important local pollen source.
Olive leads the season in mid-spring, as temperatures climb to around 20°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Then come the grasses, strongest in mid-spring and fading by early fall. Plantain and pigweed flower through much of the warmer half of the year. The olive period in mid-spring is usually the most intense time of year here. Rain is heaviest in fall, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

Does pollen in Pokolbin 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 Pokolbin 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 Pokolbin, 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. |
