Local Environmental Conditions
Nearby, within easy reach, hazel and willow thrive along the damp bank, both prolific early wind-pollinators. A stand of oak and birch, the latter ranked among the region's most potent tree allergens, in the wider area. Here, near this part of town, the park's turf and planted trees form a small but steady source of grass and ragweed pollen.
Hazel and willow along the water get the season underway before other species, peaking in late winter through March. Once hazel fades, oak and birch in the woods carry the season forward, peaking in the heart of spring, generally April into May. Grass pollen rises through late spring toward a June high point, then gives way to ragweed, which drives the season's second major surge from mid-August into October.

Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in City of Ithaca 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 City of Ithaca, 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. |
