According to the five-day outlook, ambrosia, artemisia, and grass pollen levels will increase later in the week.

Near the bank, hazel and willow lead the seasonal calendar, leading off the pollen calendar, with a peak generally falling in late winter.

Grass pollen rises through late spring toward a June high point, followed by ragweed's own peak stretch from mid-August into October.

The Site 79 pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

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.

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 79, 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.
