When is pollen season in The Lagoon?
River oak by the water is typically first out of the gate, building through the depths of winter into September. As spring turns to summer, grass pollen rises toward its November high, before staying elevated through the summer months into late January. Neighboring parts of the region typically see this same sequence with only minor timing shifts.
How often is the The Lagoon pollen forecast updated?

The The Lagoon pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in The Lagoon 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 The Lagoon 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 The Lagoon, 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.
