Local Environmental Conditions
The landscape around this location in Baird is largely open grassland, with some woodland. Trees are an important local pollen source, given how much woodland surrounds the area. Grass pollen adds noticeably to the overall load. Roadside verges and patches of open ground provide further room for grasses and weeds.
The year opens with tree pollen, which is highest around early spring. Grass pollen builds from mid-spring, peaks around late spring and stays noticeable until midsummer. Weeds on open ground add a smaller late peak from early summer into early fall. Temperatures range from around 5°C in the coldest month to around 30°C in the warmest, with most rain falling in the warmer months.

Does pollen in Baird 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 Baird 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 Baird, 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.
