Local Environmental Conditions
Here, not far from here, hazel and willow crowd the water's edge, both classic sources of early allergenic pollen. Nearby, close to home here, tree cover made up mostly of oak and birch, both significant spring allergen sources. Mown grass and ornamental trees in a nearby park, adding to seasonal grass and ragweed pollen, not far from here.
Hazel and willow by the water are typically first out of the gate, hitting its peak before most trees have even budded, around late winter into March. The area's oak and birch trees pollinate through mid-to-late spring, typically landing in April and May. Grass pollen rises through late spring toward a June high point, and then ragweed picks up the slack, running from mid-August through October.

Are pollen levels in Parrot's Cove Marina based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

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. |
