Local Environmental Conditions
This site in New Orleans is surrounded mainly by built-up land, which covers almost 80% of the nearby area, with some open water. With a stream or river close by, riverside trees such as plane tree contribute to the local mix. Among allergenic trees nearby, oak is the main source. Beyond the trees, grasses matter a great deal, and ragweed and pigweed are the main weed sources.
Tree pollen peaks in early spring, when the weather warms to around 20°C and oak is in full flower. Grass pollen follows, peaking in mid-spring and easing off by mid-fall. Later, ragweed and pigweed keep weed pollen in the air from late summer into mid-fall. Warm, damp weather through spring also raises mold spore levels.

Does pollen in New Orleans 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 New Orleans 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 New Orleans, 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. |
