Local Environmental Conditions
The area around this site in Marco is mostly open water. Lawns and planted trees in a nearby park add to local grass and tree pollen. With much of the immediate area made up of open water, local pollen production is limited, though pollen can still drift in from surrounding land.
The year opens with tree pollen, which is highest around early spring. Grass pollen builds from early spring, peaks around mid-spring and stays noticeable until late summer. Later, weeds flowering on open and disturbed ground keep some pollen in the air from early summer into early fall. Here, winters average around 20°C and summers around 30°C, with most rain falling in the warmer months.

How often is the Marco pollen forecast updated?
The Marco pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Marco 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 Marco 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 Marco, 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 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
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. |
