Local Environmental Conditions
Located not far from here, this area has hazel and willow crowd the water's edge, both classic sources of early allergenic pollen. Woodland dominated by oak and birch, with birch a leading regional tree-pollen allergen, near this part of town. Located just around the area, this area has parkland with regularly mown grass and planted trees, both sources of grass and ragweed pollen.
Hazel and willow near the water open the pollen calendar early, peaking in late winter through March. Once hazel fades, oak and birch in the woods carry the season forward, usually peaking from April into May. As spring turns to summer, grass pollen rises toward its June high, before ragweed becomes the more dominant allergen from mid-August into October.

Does pollen in Newmarket 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 Newmarket 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 Newmarket, 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. |
