Local Environmental Conditions
The area around this site in Montrose is heavily wooded, with some open grassland. With Iron Springs nearby, the moist ground around the spring supports lush vegetation that adds to the local mix. With this much woodland around, trees are an important local pollen source. Grass pollen adds noticeably to the overall load.
Over the course of the year, tree flowering starts the season, reaching its height around mid-spring. Grasses take over, peaking around early summer and fading by late summer. Weeds take the season into its final stretch, adding modest amounts of pollen from early summer into early fall. Locally, temperatures range from a few degrees below freezing in the coldest month to around 25°C in the warmest.

How often is the Montrose pollen forecast updated?
The Montrose pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Montrose 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 Montrose 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 Montrose, 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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
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. |
