Local Environmental Conditions
The area around this part of Sherbrooke is heavily wooded, with some open grassland. Maple, birch and poplar are among the allergenic trees nearby. Grasses are a major source, with ragweed adding to the weed pollen load. Ragweed is unusually common here compared with most other locations, making it a particularly important local pollen source.
Maple, birch and poplar lead the season in mid-spring, as temperatures climb to around 5°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grasses take over in early summer, with temperatures around 15°C, and their pollen lingers into late summer. Ragweed brings the strongest peak of the year from late summer into mid-fall. In warm, humid weather through summer, mold spores add to the mix, especially after rain.

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