Local Environmental Conditions
Most of the area around the heart of The Links at Ireland Grove is farmland, with some open grassland. Along a stream or river nearby, trees, shrubs and reeds grow in the damper ground and add their own pollen. Of the trees nearby, maple is the one that matters most for allergies. Grasses also feature strongly, alongside ragweed among the weeds.
Tree pollen peaks in mid-spring, when the weather warms to around 10°C and maple is in full flower. Grasses take over in late spring and keep pollen in the air into early fall. Ragweed brings a final peak from late summer into mid-fall. Rain is heaviest in summer, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.
