Local Environmental Conditions
Around 79% of the area near this site in Citra is woodland, with some open grassland. Around here, the surrounding woods make trees an important source; open grassland adds grass and weed pollen. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load. Gaps in the canopy, trails and forest edges give grasses and herbs room to grow.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in early spring. Grasses take over in early spring and keep pollen in the air into mid-fall. Weeds on open ground add a smaller late peak from early summer into early fall. Mold spores join in from early summer into early winter, when damp, warm spells let them thrive.

Does pollen in Citra 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 Citra 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 Citra, 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.
