Local Environmental Conditions
Mown grass and ornamental trees in a nearby park, adding to seasonal grass and ragweed pollen; this sits right nearby, about 50m away. Small shifts in elevation or soil type can move these figures a little either way. Neighboring areas with similar land cover tend to show a closely matching pollen mix.
Grass pollen becomes the dominant allergen through late spring, peaking in June, then gives way to ragweed, which drives the season's second major surge from mid-August into October. This general pattern holds fairly steady across the surrounding county from year to year. Local weather swings can shift these windows slightly, but the overall order tends to hold.

Are pollen levels in Mount Sterling based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

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. |
