Local Environmental Conditions
Centennial HS's Soccer Field sits in the Circle Pines suburban landscape of Anoka County north of Minneapolis, with oak, maple, and birch as the main surrounding tree pollen sources. Surrounding Minnesota suburban woodland and farmland contribute substantial grass and tree pollen, while the continental Nordic climate produces a well-defined seasonal progression and mugwort extends into September throughout this north Twin Cities suburban school.
Centennial HS's Soccer Field sees the same pollen timeline as the rest of Circle Pines, beginning with elm and cottonwood in March before ash takes over and peaks through April. A grass pollen peak follows through May and June; ragweed pollen builds through late summer into September. Wide-open plains terrain lets pollen travel long distances on the prevailing wind, a defining feature of the local season.

How often is the Circle Pines pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Circle Pines 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 Circle Pines 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 Circle Pines, 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. |
