The vegetation around Alpine, on high desert grassland in the Trans-Pecos region beneath the Davis Mountains, is dominated by desert grassland and juniper, with sotol and yucca adding further seasonal pollen exposure. Exposure varies with proximity to green space versus the more built-up parts of Alpine. Microclimates within the area can shift the timing slightly from one neighborhood to the next.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is pollen high in Alpine right now?

On 30 August 2026, overall pollen levels in Alpine are high. Ambrosia is the main contributor to airborne pollen, while grass and artemisia remain at lower levels

Will pollen levels change in Alpine tomorrow?

On 30 August 2026, Ambrosia is the dominant pollen source in Alpine. grass and artemisia are also present but at lower levels. cypress are not currently active.

When is pollen season in Alpine?
In Alpine, pollen season begins with mountain cedar starting in December then oak and elm builds through March. Grass pollen rises through April and May, and ragweed pollen builds through late summer into October. Mountain cedar's December-through-February peak is one of the most intense tree pollen events in the US, shaping conditions across the city.
How often is the Alpine pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Alpine 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 Alpine 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 Alpine, 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.
