ENVIRONMENT & ANALYSIS

Local Environmental Conditions

Mary Meadows — Woodland where oak stands alongside birch, the latter especially aggressive as an allergen; this sits close enough to matter, at 119m. Parkland with regularly mown grass and planted trees, both sources of grass and ragweed pollen; this sits close by, around 629 meters away. Comparable land cover in surrounding areas tends to produce a similar pollen mix overall.

Oak and birch in the woodland come next, through the heart of spring, reaching its high point through April and into May. Late spring brings rising grass pollen that crests in June, and ragweed later takes the lead from mid-August through October. Year-to-year timing varies a little, though the general sequence stays fairly consistent here.

How often is the Wasco pollen forecast updated?

The Wasco pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Wasco 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 Wasco 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 Wasco, 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.
