When is pollen season in Kimberley?
Set beneath the Purcell Mountains in the East Kootenays, Kimberley experiences a cooler, mountain-shaped pollen season, with conifer forest producing a delayed spring bloom, while the surrounding alpine terrain keeps summer grass exposure light and ragweed almost entirely absent from the local count.
How often is the Kimberley pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Kimberley 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 Kimberley 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 Kimberley, 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.
