Local Environmental Conditions
Hazel and willow thrive along the damp bank, both prolific early wind-pollinators, within the neighborhood. Located close to this spot, this area has a wooded area built around oak and birch, both contributing heavily to the region's spring pollen totals. Ground-level conditions like local landscaping can nudge these figures slightly either way.
Hazel and willow by the water are typically first out of the gate, leading off the pollen calendar, with a peak generally falling in late winter. Oak and birch in the woodland come next, through the heart of spring, typically landing in April and May. Grass pollen climbs toward a June peak, before ragweed's late-summer surge carries the season into October.

Does pollen in Springfield 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 Springfield 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 Springfield, 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. |
