Local Environmental Conditions
The area around this site in Big Spring is mainly farmland, with some open grassland. Locally, open grassland and farmland add grass and weed pollen. Field margins, fallow strips and pasture around the farmland add further grass and weed pollen. Wind carries pollen over long distances, so the wider landscape also shapes what arrives here.
Grasses take over in mid-spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. Weeds on open ground add a smaller late peak from early summer into early fall. Spring is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen. By midwinter, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.

Does pollen in Big Spring 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 Big Spring 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 Big Spring, 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.
