Eagan's Minnesota River corridor setting features oak, basswood, and birch as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between the extensively wooded Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge bluffs and the more built-up commercial corridors along Pilot Knob Road. The Minnesota River bottomland corridor is a particularly significant local source, while the bluff-to-river elevation gradient creates distinct pollen zones between the upland residential and river valley areas.

Grass from surrounding Minnesota farmland peaks through June and July before mugwort and nettle extend exposure into September. The Minnesota River corridor channels airflows, while the continental climate produces a well-defined seasonal progression ending earlier than in more southern US cities.
How often is the Eagan pollen forecast updated?

The Eagan pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Eagan 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 Eagan 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 Eagan, 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.
