Local Environmental Conditions
Sunrise's parks and the North New River Canal corridor feature oak, palm, and Australian pine as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Broward County wetlands and coastal grasslands contribute substantial grass and reed pollen, while the flat, low-lying landscape allows pollen to disperse readily across the greater Fort Lauderdale area.
Sunrise's subtropical setting in Broward County produces a near year-round pollen season, with oak, palm, and Australian pine contributing through winter and spring. Grass pollen peaks through March and April, with a secondary peak after summer rains. The flat, low-lying landscape and surrounding South Florida wetlands contribute substantial grass and reed pollen, while the warm, humid climate supports one of the longer pollen seasons of any US city.

When is pollen season in Sunrise?
How often is the Sunrise pollen forecast updated?
The Sunrise pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Sunrise 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 Sunrise 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 Sunrise, 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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
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. |
