Local Environmental Conditions
This part of Medicine Hat sits among a blend of built-up land and open grassland. With the South Saskatchewan River nearby, riverside trees such as poplar along its banks contribute to the local mix. The leading allergenic tree nearby is poplar, with maple close behind. Beyond the trees, grasses matter a great deal, and mugwort and pigweed are the main weed sources.
Tree pollen peaks in mid-spring, when the weather warms to around 5°C and poplar and maple are in full flower. Then come the grasses, strongest in early summer and fading by early fall. The season closes with mugwort and pigweed from midsummer into early fall. In this dry climate, pollen can linger in the air for long spells without rain.

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