The vegetation around Winona, on bluffs above the Mississippi River in the driftless area, is dominated by oak-hickory forest and bur oak savanna, with riverside cottonwood adding further seasonal pollen exposure. Local parks and open ground tend to see higher pollen counts than the denser urban core. The mix of native and introduced species here is fairly typical for this part of the country.

Does pollen in Winona 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 Winona 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 Winona, 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.
