Local Environmental Conditions
The landscape around this location in Westfield is heavily wooded, with some open grassland. The allergenic tree mix nearby includes oak and maple. Grasses are also a significant pollen source here. Roadside verges and patches of open ground provide further room for grasses and weeds. Gaps in the canopy, trails and forest edges give grasses and herbs room to grow.
Tree pollen peaks in late spring, when the weather warms to around 15°C and oak and maple are in full flower. Grasses take over in early summer, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. By late fall, pollen levels are low again.

How often is the Westfield pollen forecast updated?
The Westfield pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Westfield 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 Westfield 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 Westfield, 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 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
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. |
