Local Environmental Conditions
Around 68% of the area near this site in Astor is woodland, with some open grassland. Among allergenic trees nearby, oak is the main source. Grasses are a major source, with pigweed adding to the weed pollen load. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load.
Over the course of the year, tree pollen comes first, with oak in flower from early spring into mid-spring. From early spring, grass pollen rises to a peak around late spring before easing off by late summer. Pigweed brings a later peak from early summer into early fall. Winters average around 15°C and summers around 30°C, with most rain falling in the warmer months.

Does pollen in Astor 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 Astor 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 Astor, 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.
