Local Environmental Conditions
The landscape around the heart of Santa Fe is densely built up. Allergenic trees nearby include willow. Grasses are also a significant pollen source here. In the immediate area, street trees, gardens and lawns supply most pollen in the built-up parts. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load.
Tree pollen peaks in early spring, when the weather warms to around 15°C and willow is in full flower. Then come the grasses, strongest in mid-spring and fading by early fall. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in fall, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

How often is the Santa Fe pollen forecast updated?
The Santa Fe pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe, 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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
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. |
