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 Town of Richmond, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
