Local Environmental Conditions
The area around this location in Fort McMurray is mostly woodland, with a good deal of open water and some open grassland. The allergenic tree mix nearby includes poplar. Grasses are also a significant pollen source here. Roadside verges and patches of open ground provide further room for grasses and weeds.
Tree pollen peaks in mid-spring, when poplar is in full flower. Grasses take over in early summer, with temperatures around 15°C, and their pollen lingers into late summer. Weeds on open ground add a smaller late peak from midsummer into mid-fall. Summer is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen. By mid-fall, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.

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