Local Environmental Conditions
Set on the Adirondack foothills near the Canadian border, Malone's landscape is defined by sugar maple alongside red spruce and white pine, the main contributors to seasonal pollen exposure. Individual yards and gardens around Malone can still vary somewhat from this general pattern. Microclimates within the area can shift the timing slightly from one neighborhood to the next.
Malone's pollen season opens with maple and elm from March then birch and oak follows, running through April and May. Grass pollen rises through June and July, and ragweed and mugwort keep weed pollen elevated into September. A relatively short growing season compresses tree, grass, and weed pollen into a more intense stretch, a defining feature of the local season.

How often is the Malone pollen forecast updated?
The Malone pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Malone 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 Malone 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 Malone, 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. |
