Local Environmental Conditions
Around 43% of the area near Bayou Vista is open water, with a good deal of built-up land. Grass pollen adds noticeably to the overall load. Around here, street trees, parks and lawns are the main sources in the built-up parts. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load.
Grass pollen follows, peaking in mid-spring and easing off by mid-fall. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. In warm, humid weather from early spring into midsummer, mold spores add to the mix, especially after rain. Dry, sunny and breezy weather raises levels within each period, and steady rain brings them down.

Does pollen in Bayou Vista 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 Bayou Vista 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 Bayou Vista, 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.
