Local Environmental Conditions
This part of East Lansing is surrounded mainly by built-up land, which covers around 63% of the nearby area, with a good deal of woodland. Close to a watercourse, riverside trees such as poplar and plane tree contribute to what is in the air. Allergenic trees nearby include maple and oak. Grasses and weeds such as ragweed and plantain round out the local mix.
Tree pollen peaks in mid-spring, when the weather warms to around 10°C and maple and oak are in full flower. Grass pollen follows, peaking in early summer and easing off by early fall. The season closes with ragweed and plantain from late summer into mid-fall. Summer is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen.

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 East Lansing 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 East Lansing, 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.
