Local Environmental Conditions
Open grassland makes up just over 35% of the area near this site in Babson Park, with a good deal of woodland and open water. With Crooked Lake nearby, lakeside vegetation along its shore contributes to the local mix. Oak is the most prominent allergenic tree nearby. Grass pollen is significant here, and pigweed contributes weed pollen.
Oak leads the season in early spring, as temperatures climb to around 20°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grass pollen follows, peaking in early spring and easing off by mid-fall. The season closes with pigweed from early summer into early fall. Warm, damp weather from early summer into early winter also raises mold spore levels.

Does pollen in Babson Park 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 Babson Park 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 Babson Park, 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.

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. |
