Local Environmental Conditions
Built-up land and woodland share the area around the heart of Benbrook, plus some open grassland. Lawns and planted trees in a nearby park add to local grass and tree pollen. The allergenic tree mix nearby includes oak, elm and juniper. Grasses also feature strongly, alongside ragweed and mugwort among the weeds. Ragweed is unusually common here compared with most other locations, making it a particularly important local pollen source.
Elm and juniper open the pollen season in midwinter. Oak follows in early spring, as temperatures climb to around 15°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grasses take over in mid-spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. Ragweed and mugwort bring the strongest peak of the year from late summer into mid-fall. Rain is heaviest in spring, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

How often is the Benbrook pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Benbrook 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 Benbrook 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 Benbrook, 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. |
