Janesville's Rock River setting in Wisconsin features oak, maple, and elm as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between the greener residential neighborhoods along the Rock River and the more built-up commercial corridors. The Rock River corridor is a particularly significant local source, while the surrounding Wisconsin farmland extends substantial grass pollen across the city and the river valley channels airflows throughout.

How often is the Janesville pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Janesville 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 Janesville 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 Janesville, 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.
