Local Environmental Conditions
Around 59% of the area near this location in Aspen is woodland, with some open grassland and built-up land. A watercourse nearby means riverside trees such as poplar are part of the local pollen picture. Poplar is the most prominent allergenic tree nearby. Grasses add a sizeable share of the local pollen.
Poplar leads the season in late spring, as temperatures climb to around 5°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grass pollen follows, peaking in midsummer and easing off by late summer. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. By mid-fall, as temperatures fall to around freezing, pollen levels are low again.

How often is the Aspen pollen forecast updated?
The Aspen pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Aspen 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 Aspen 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 Aspen, 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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
