Local Environmental Conditions
The landscape around this site in Alamosa East is largely bare ground. With much of the immediate area made up of bare ground, local pollen production is limited, though pollen can still drift in from surrounding land.
Then come the grasses, strongest in early summer and fading by late summer. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around freezing, pollen levels are low again. Day to day, sunshine and wind lift the counts, while a spell of rain can bring them down sharply. Between late fall and the first tree flowering, pollen levels stay low, with midwinter usually the quietest time.

Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Alamosa East 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 Alamosa East, 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.
