Local Environmental Conditions
Around 59% of the area near this location in Edmonton is built-up land, with a good deal of woodland. Close to the North Saskatchewan River, riverside trees such as willow and poplar add to local tree pollen. Of the trees nearby, maple, poplar and oak are the ones that matter most for allergies. Grass pollen is significant here, and mugwort and pigweed contribute weed pollen.
Tree pollen peaks in mid-spring, when the weather warms to around 5°C and maple, poplar and oak are in full flower. Grasses take over in early summer, with temperatures around 15°C, and their pollen lingers into midsummer. Later, mugwort and pigweed keep weed pollen in the air from midsummer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in summer, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

How often is the Edmonton pollen forecast updated?
The Edmonton pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Edmonton 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 Edmonton 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 Edmonton, 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. |
