Local Environmental Conditions
The area around this part of Lake Mack-Forest Hills is heavily wooded. With Alexander Springs nearby, the moist ground around the spring supports lush vegetation that adds to the local mix. Common allergenic trees nearby include oak. Among weeds, pigweed stands out as local pollen source. Clearings, tracks and woodland edges let grasses and other flowering plants grow among the trees.
The pollen year opens with oak, peaking around early spring. Later in the year, pigweed adds weed pollen from early summer into early fall. Here, temperatures range from around 15°C in the coldest month to around 30°C in the warmest, with most rain falling in the warmer months. Dry, sunny and breezy weather raises levels within each period, and steady rain brings them down.
