Local Environmental Conditions
This area, close by, has hazel and willow line the water's edge, releasing pollen that carries easily on the wind. Nearby, just outside the immediate area, forest where oak and birch make up much of the canopy, driving spring pollen counts. The broader area tends to mirror this pattern, with only minor local variation.
Water-edge hazel and willow are usually the first allergenic trees active here, arriving ahead of the rest of the season, cresting around late winter. Woodland oak and birch pick up the pace next, through mid-to-late spring, usually peaking from April into May. Grass pollen takes over next, building to a peak around June, and ragweed later takes the lead from mid-August through October.

Are pollen levels in Leeds and the Thousand Islands based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

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. |
