Local Environmental Conditions
This location in Bastrop is surrounded mainly by woodland, which covers around 56% of the nearby area, with a good deal of open grassland and some built-up land. Lawns and planted trees in a nearby park add to local grass and tree pollen. Among allergenic trees nearby, oak leads, followed by juniper. Oak is unusually common here compared with most other locations, making it a particularly important local pollen source.
The pollen year starts with juniper, active through winter. Oak follows, peaking around early spring. Grasses are next, reaching their height around late spring and tailing off by late summer. Later in the year, ragweed adds weed pollen from late summer into mid-fall. The oak period around early spring is usually the most intense time of year here. Here, winters average around 10°C and summers around 30°C.

How often is the Bastrop pollen forecast updated?

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.

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. |
