Local Environmental Conditions
At Washburn, here, in the wider area, the nearest stream or river hosts hazel and willow, two of the most allergenic early-season trees. Located close by, this area has woods composed largely of oak and birch, a combination tied to sharp spring pollen spikes. Nearby, in the surrounding area, well-kept lawns and ornamental trees in this park add their share of grass and ragweed pollen.
Around Washburn, oak and birch nearby take over the pollen calendar through mid-spring, peaking in the heart of spring, generally April into May. Near the bank, hazel and willow lead the seasonal calendar, reaching its high point sometime in late winter or early spring. As spring turns to summer, grass pollen rises toward its June high, before ragweed pollen takes center stage across mid-August into October.

How often is the Washburn pollen forecast updated?
The Washburn pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Washburn 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 Washburn 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 Washburn, 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 exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
