Historic Palos — Hazel and willow thrive along the damp bank, both prolific early wind-pollinators, within easy reach at 337m. Located a moderate 476 meters from here, this area has woodland where oak stands alongside birch, the latter especially aggressive as an allergen. Here, practically next door, 24 meters off, parkland with regularly mown grass and planted trees, both sources of grass and ragweed pollen.

Does pollen in Palos Park 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 Palos Park 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 Palos Park, 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.
