Local Environmental Conditions
The waterway's edge supports hazel and willow, species known for potent, wind-carried pollen; this sits close by. Nearby, a short distance from here, a wooded area built around oak and birch, both contributing heavily to the region's spring pollen totals. Seasonal timing here generally tracks the wider region, give or take a week or so.
Water-edge hazel and willow are usually the first allergenic trees active here, climbing steadily from late winter into March. Oak and birch in the woodland come next, through the heart of spring, typically the year's sharpest tree-pollen spell, centered on April and May. Late spring brings rising grass pollen that crests in June, then gives way to ragweed, which drives the season's second major surge from mid-August into October.

Does pollen in Pekin 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 Pekin 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 Pekin, 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. |
