Local Environmental Conditions
Most of the area around Buffalo Springs is open grassland, with some open water. Buffalo Springs keeps the ground around it moist, supporting dense vegetation that adds to local pollen. Of the trees nearby, elm is the one that matters most for allergies. Beyond the trees, grasses matter a great deal, and mugwort and pigweed are the main weed sources.
The pollen year starts in late winter, when elm flowers. Grasses take over in late spring, with temperatures around 25°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. The season closes with mugwort and pigweed through summer. 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.

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 Buffalo Springs 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 Buffalo Springs, 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.
