Local Environmental Conditions
Located within easy reach, this area has the riverbank shelters hazel and willow, two trees whose pollen travels readily on the breeze. Tree cover made up mostly of oak and birch, both significant spring allergen sources, within the local area. As with most local readings, actual levels can vary somewhat with short-term weather swings.
The water-adjacent hazel and willow are early risers, starting well before the main spring rush, topping out around March. The area's oak and birch trees pollinate through mid-to-late spring, typically landing in April and May. As spring turns to summer, grass pollen rises toward its June high, and then ragweed picks up the slack, running from mid-August through October.

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 Paxton 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 Paxton 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. |
