Local Environmental Conditions
Soda Bay is surrounded mainly by woodland, with a good deal of open water. Along a watercourse nearby, trees such as willow grow in the damper ground and add their own pollen. Oak heads the list of allergenic trees nearby, ahead of maple and willow. Grass pollen is significant here, and mugwort and plantain contribute weed pollen.
Tree pollen peaks in mid-spring, when the weather warms to around 15°C and oak, maple and willow are in full flower. Then come the grasses, strongest in late spring and fading by early fall. Later, mugwort and plantain keep weed pollen in the air from midsummer into early fall. Winter is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen.

How often is the Soda Bay pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Soda Bay 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 Soda Bay 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 Soda Bay, 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 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
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. |
