Set on flat sandhill country along the Pee Dee River in northeastern South Carolina, Cheraw's landscape is defined by longleaf pine forest alongside turkey oak scrub and riverside cypress, the main contributors to seasonal pollen exposure. This mix of plant life is fairly typical for the wider area around Cheraw. Nearby towns with similar terrain tend to see a broadly similar pattern.

Does pollen in Cheraw 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 Cheraw 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 Cheraw, 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.
