When is pollen season in Alamogordo?

Grass pollen rises through March and April, and summer monsoon rains from July through September trigger a second, smaller pollen peak. Dry desert air lets pollen travel widely once released, with the spring peak the most intense stretch, consistent with the wider Alamogordo area.
How often is the Alamogordo pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Alamogordo 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 Alamogordo 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 Alamogordo, 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.
