Local Environmental Conditions
Moisture-loving hazel and willow dominate the bank, both quick to release pollen on the wind, within easy reach. Nearby, in the wider area, a park whose turf grass and ornamental plantings feed local grass and ragweed pollen levels. Nearby weather stations report comparable trends across the broader stretch of the county.
Hazel and willow by the water are typically first out of the gate, starting well before the main spring rush, topping out around March. Grass pollen becomes the dominant allergen through late spring, peaking in June, handing off to ragweed, which peaks from mid-August through October. Year-to-year timing varies a little, though the general sequence stays fairly consistent here.

Does pollen in Queens 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 Queens 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 Queens, 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. |
