Local Environmental Conditions
Open water makes up around 36% of the area near this location in Waterford Township, with a good deal of woodland and some open grassland. Lawns and planted trees in a nearby park add to local grass and tree pollen. Common allergenic trees nearby include maple. Grass pollen adds noticeably to the overall load.
Maple leads the season in mid-spring, as temperatures climb to around 10°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grasses take over in early summer and keep pollen in the air into early fall. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
