Hazel and willow take root along the waterway, both prolific contributors to early pollen counts; this sits close to this spot. This area, nearby, has oak and birch make up the bulk of this woodland, birch being the more potent allergen of the two. Local readings for the surrounding area tend to follow this same general pattern.

When is pollen season in Site 5?

As spring advances, oak and birch in the nearby woodland become the dominant source, reaching maximum intensity across the April-May window. By late spring, grass pollen is climbing steadily toward a June high point, with ragweed climbing to its own high point from mid-August through October.
How often is the Site 5 pollen forecast updated?

The Site 5 pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Site 5 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 Site 5 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 Site 5, 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.
