Local Environmental Conditions
This area, practically next door, 100 meters off, has the riverbank shelters hazel and willow, two trees whose pollen travels readily on the breeze. Here, at around 600-700m distant, this park's mix of turf and landscaped trees contributes a modest grass and ragweed pollen load. Year-to-year swings in rainfall and wind can shift this picture somewhat either way.
Near the bank, hazel and willow lead the seasonal calendar, usually the first pollen source active, peaking sometime in February or March. Grass pollen takes over next, building to a peak around June, with ragweed climbing to its own high point from mid-August through October. Local weather swings can shift these windows slightly, but the overall order tends to hold.

Does pollen in Columbus 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 Columbus 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 Columbus, 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. |
