Local Environmental Conditions
Along the damp banks, hazel and willow release some of the year's first tree pollen, near this part of town. A canopy of oak and birch, birch chief among them for allergenic potency here, within the local area. This area, close by, has a stretch of mown parkland where turf and ornamental trees feed local grass and ragweed pollen.
Hazel and willow by the water are typically first out of the gate, usually peaking sometime between late winter and the end of March. Oak and birch in the woodland come next, through the heart of spring, usually hitting its highest point sometime between mid-April and mid-May. Late spring sees grass pollen build steadily toward a peak in June, before ragweed becomes the more dominant allergen from mid-August into October.

Does pollen in Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn, 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 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
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. |
