Local Environmental Conditions
This part of Saint Charles is surrounded mainly by built-up land, with a good deal of woodland and some open grassland. A stream or river nearby means riverside vegetation is part of the local pollen picture. Common allergenic trees nearby include maple. Grass pollen is plentiful, while ragweed leads among the weeds.
Tree pollen peaks in mid-spring, when the weather warms to around 10°C and maple is in full flower. Grasses take over in early summer, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. The season closes with ragweed from late summer into mid-fall. Summer is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen. By late fall, pollen levels are low again.

Does pollen in Saint Charles 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 Saint Charles 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 Saint Charles, 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.
