Local Environmental Conditions
Hazel and willow cluster near the water, an early and reliable source of allergenic pollen, close to this spot. Woodland where oak stands alongside birch, the latter especially aggressive as an allergen, nearby. Actual counts still shift year to year with temperature, rainfall, and prevailing wind. Local readings for the surrounding area tend to follow this same general pattern.
The waterside hazel and willow are consistently first to release pollen each year, topping out well before most other trees start releasing pollen, around February and March. Woodland oak and birch pick up the pace next, through mid-to-late spring, peaking in the heart of spring, generally April into May. Grass pollen rises through late spring toward a June high point, before ragweed pollen takes center stage across mid-August into October.

How often is the Shiloh pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Shiloh 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 Shiloh 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 Shiloh, 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. |
