Local Environmental Conditions
The landscape around this site in Arnold is heavily wooded. Lawns and planted trees in a nearby park add to local grass and tree pollen. Of the allergenic trees nearby, oak matters most, while hazel also contributes. Grasses add a sizeable share of the local pollen. Undergrowth, clearings and woodland edges add smaller amounts of grass and herb pollen.
Through the year, hazel opens the pollen season from midwinter into early spring. Oak follows, peaking around mid-spring. Grass pollen follows, highest around early summer and gone by late summer. Weeds on open ground add a smaller late peak from early summer into early fall. Here, temperatures range from around freezing in the coldest month to around 25°C in the warmest, with most rain falling in the cooler months.

How often is the Arnold pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Arnold 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 Arnold 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 Arnold, 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. |
