Local Environmental Conditions
Here, not far from here, hazel and willow take root along the waterway, both prolific contributors to early pollen counts. A park whose turf grass and ornamental plantings feed local grass and ragweed pollen levels; this sits within the neighborhood. Nearby weather stations report comparable trends across the broader stretch of the county.
The bank's hazel and willow kick off the pollen season ahead of the rest, building through the tail end of winter into March. Late spring sees grass pollen build steadily toward a peak in June, before ragweed takes over as the dominant allergen from mid-August through October. The overall order of species tends to hold steady, even as exact dates shift slightly each year.

Does pollen in Mississauga 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 Mississauga 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 Mississauga, 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. |
