Local Environmental Conditions
Hazel and willow line the water's edge, releasing pollen that carries easily on the wind, close to this spot. A stand of oak and birch, the latter ranked among the region's most potent tree allergens; this sits near this part of town. A green space of mown lawn and planted trees, both feeding into local grass and ragweed counts; this sits near this part of town.
The bank's hazel and willow kick off the pollen season ahead of the rest, usually peaking sometime between late winter and the end of March. The woodland's oak and birch trees become the main pollen source by mid-spring, generally peaking somewhere between April and May. Grass pollen takes over next, building to a peak around June, and ragweed later takes the lead from mid-August through October.

How often is the Glenview pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Glenview 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 Glenview 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 Glenview, 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. |
