Local Environmental Conditions
Along the damp banks, hazel and willow release some of the year's first tree pollen; this sits within easy reach. This area, a short distance from here, has oak and birch make up the bulk of this woodland, birch being the more potent allergen of the two. This area, within easy reach, has green space with maintained lawn and planted trees, both contributing to grass and ragweed counts.
Hazel and willow by the water are typically first out of the gate, building through the tail end of winter into March. Oak and birch in the nearby woodland follow in mid-to-late spring, usually peaking from April into 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.

How often is the Philadelphia pollen forecast updated?
The Philadelphia pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia, 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 exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
