Local Environmental Conditions
Hazel and willow crowd the water's edge, both classic sources of early allergenic pollen, just outside the immediate area. A canopy of oak and birch, birch chief among them for allergenic potency here; this sits in the surrounding area. Seasonal timing here generally tracks the wider region, give or take a week or so.
Hazel and willow near the water open the pollen calendar early, building through the tail end of winter into March. Oak and birch in the woods pick up where the earlier species leave off, reaching its high point through April and into May. By late spring, grass pollen is climbing steadily toward a June high point, with ragweed then rising to the fore from mid-August through October.

Does pollen in Oswego Township 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 Oswego Township 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 Oswego Township, 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. |
