Each column is one day. The top row is how itchy the owner said the dog was, from 1 (Chill) to 5 (Miserable). Underneath, on the same days, are the Itch Risk score, the tree, grass and weed pollen counts (Google's Universal Pollen Index, 0 to 5), mold risk and rain for the dog's ZIP. An empty column means nobody checked in that day. It's left empty on purpose, not filled in.
Itch Risk is itchydog.vet's 0 to 10 score for a ZIP code. It starts from the highest of the tree, grass and weed pollen counts, then adjusts for wind, rain, humidity and heat. It describes the conditions outside, not any one dog.
Mold risk is high when it rained the day before and the humidity stays above 75%. It's moderate after rain, or when the humidity is above 65%.
Itch scale: 1 Chill, 2 A little scratchy, 3 Itchy, 4 Really itchy, 5 Miserable.
