Local Environmental Conditions
Located within the local area, this area has the riverbank shelters hazel and willow, two trees whose pollen travels readily on the breeze. Here, not far from here, tree cover made up mostly of oak and birch, both significant spring allergen sources. Local microclimate and soil conditions can push these figures slightly higher or lower.
The waterside hazel and willow are consistently first to release pollen each year, usually the first pollen source active, peaking sometime in February or March. Woodland oak and birch pick up the pace next, through mid-to-late spring, usually hitting its highest point sometime between mid-April and mid-May. Late spring brings rising grass pollen that crests in June, with ragweed then rising to the fore from mid-August through October.

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. |
