When is pollen season in Allentown?
Like the rest of Allentown, Da Vinci Science Center experiences a season that opens with cedar and elm from late February with oak taking the lead through April. Grass pollen then peaks through May and June, and ragweed and mugwort extend the weed season into September. The mild mid-Atlantic climate advances the season compared to more northern East Coast cities, which shapes conditions at Da Vinci Science Center much as it does elsewhere in Allentown.
How often is the Allentown pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Allentown 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 Allentown 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 Allentown, 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.
