In Otis, hazel and willow near the water open the pollen calendar early, getting an early start, typically cresting between February and March. Through late spring, grass pollen climbs steadily toward its June peak, with ragweed climbing to its own high point from mid-August through October. Daily pollen counts published for the wider region track this same seasonal rhythm closely.

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.

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 Otis, 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.
