Local Environmental Conditions
Palatka sits on a river town along the St. Johns River in northeastern Florida, where the dominant vegetation is a mix of longleaf pine flatwoods, riverside cypress, and live oak hammocks, shaping the local pollen profile across the seasons. This mix of plant life is fairly typical for the wider area around Palatka. Small local variations aside, this pattern holds fairly steady from year to year.
Pollen season in Palatka starts with oak and pine in January with cypress joining in and continuing through February. Grass pollen runs high across most of the year without a single defined peak, and mold levels also stay elevated for much of the year. The subtropical climate produces a mild, extended pollen season with no sharp winter break.

How often is the Palatka pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Palatka 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 Palatka 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 Palatka, 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. |
