FAQ

What is pollen count and why does it matter?
Pollen count is a snapshot of how many pollen grains are floating in the air per cubic meter, measured at certified sampling stations or projected through forecasting models. Higher counts trigger allergy symptoms like sneezing, congestion, and watery eyes. PollenTracker pulls live data from Google's Pollen Forecast API and covers 800+ cities across the US and UK.
How does PollenTracker decide YES, CAUTION, or NO?
The decision weighs pollen severity (60%), air quality (30%), and weather amplifiers like wind speed (10%). YES: Low pollen + AQI under 50. CAUTION: Medium pollen, or AQI 51–100, or both. NO: High or very high pollen, or AQI 101+.
When is pollen season in the US?
Tree pollen peaks from March to May (oak, birch, maple, cedar). Grass pollen takes over May to July (Bermuda, ryegrass, timothy). Ragweed dominates August through October.
