Local Environmental Conditions
The area around the center of New Glasgow is mostly woodland, with a good deal of built-up land and some open grassland. Close to the East River, riverside vegetation adds to local tree pollen. Common allergenic trees nearby include maple. In the built-up parts of the area, street trees, gardens and park lawns add to the local mix.
Tree pollen peaks in late spring, when the weather warms to around 10°C and maple is in full flower. Then come the grasses, strongest in midsummer and fading by early fall. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again. Weather shapes each of these periods: dry, windy spells drive levels up, and showers wash pollen out of the air.

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