Local Environmental Conditions
Auburn Park — Here, practically next door, 158 meters off, hazel and willow crowd the water's edge, both classic sources of early allergenic pollen. Oak and birch trees, with birch pollen especially potent during its brief spring window, a stone's throw away, around 128m. A nearby park's turf and ornamental trees layer grass and ragweed pollen onto the seasonal mix; this sits right nearby, about 149m away.
Hazel and willow by the water are typically first out of the gate, usually peaking sometime between late winter and the end of March. Once hazel fades, oak and birch in the woods carry the season forward, typically landing in April and May. Through late spring, grass pollen climbs steadily toward its June peak, before ragweed becomes the more dominant allergen from mid-August into October.

Does pollen in Evergreen Park 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 Evergreen Park 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 Evergreen Park, 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. |
