The vegetation around Bastrop, on flat farmland in northeastern Louisiana, is dominated by cotton and soybean fields and bottomland hardwood, with loblolly pine woodlots adding further seasonal pollen exposure. Wind patterns across the area help determine how far pollen travels from these source plants. Small local variations aside, this pattern holds fairly steady from year to year.

Does pollen in Bastrop 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 Bastrop 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 Bastrop, 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.
