Local Environmental Conditions
East End features boulevard trees and prairie grassland as the main pollen sources in this residential and light-industrial district in eastern Brandon.
Southwest Brandon experiences a moderate spring tree pollen season from young streetscape trees within its newer residential subdivisions, with nearby open farmland pushing summer grass and ragweed exposure somewhat higher than in Brandon's older, more established central neighbourhoods closer to the Assiniboine River.

When is pollen season in Brandon?
How often is the Brandon pollen forecast updated?
The Brandon pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Brandon 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 Brandon 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 Brandon, 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 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
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. |
