Pronghorn Golf Club tracks Bend's broader pollen pattern, with alder and birch appearing from February before maple peaks during March and April. Grass pollen then peaks through May and June, and mugwort and nettle extend exposure into September. The mild, wet Pacific Northwest climate and frequent spring rain periodically wash pollen from the air throughout the year.

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

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.

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 Bend, 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.
