Set on a bluff-lined river town on the Mississippi River in southeastern Minnesota, Red Wing's landscape is defined by riverside cottonwood alongside bluff-top oak forest and farmland grasses, the main contributors to seasonal pollen exposure. None of this is unusual for a town with Red Wing's particular mix of terrain and plant life. Allergy sufferers in Red Wing generally plan around this same recurring seasonal rhythm.

Does pollen in Red Wing 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 Red Wing 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 Red Wing, 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.
