Local Environmental Conditions
The area around this site in St. Petersburg is mostly built-up land, with some open water. With a stream or river close by, riverside vegetation contributes to the local mix. Oak stands out as the main allergenic tree nearby. Grass pollen is plentiful, while pigweed and ragweed lead among the weeds.
Oak leads the season in early spring, as temperatures climb to around 20°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grass pollen follows, peaking in early spring and easing off by mid-fall. Later, pigweed and ragweed keep weed pollen in the air from early summer into early fall. In warm, humid weather from early summer into early winter, mold spores add to the mix, especially after rain.

Does pollen in St. Petersburg 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 St. Petersburg 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 St. Petersburg, 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.

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. |
