Local Environmental Conditions
Around 51% of the area near this site in Rantoul is farmland, with some woodland and built-up land. Around here, open grassland and farmland add grass and weed pollen. Field margins, fallow strips and pasture around the farmland add further grass and weed pollen. Wind carries pollen over long distances, so the wider landscape also shapes what arrives here.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in mid-spring. Grasses take over in late spring and keep pollen in the air into early fall. Weeds on open ground add a smaller late peak from early summer into early fall. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.

Does pollen in Rantoul 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 Rantoul 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 Rantoul, 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.
