Local Environmental Conditions
This site in Boerne is surrounded mainly by woodland, with a good deal of built-up land and some open grassland. With running water close by, riverside trees such as willow, poplar and plane tree contribute to the local mix. The allergenic tree mix nearby includes oak, juniper and elm. Grasses and weeds such as ragweed and pellitory round out the local mix.
Juniper and elm open the pollen season in midwinter. Tree pollen peaks in early spring, when the weather warms to around 15°C and oak is in full flower. Grasses take over in mid-spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into mid-fall. Ragweed and pellitory bring a final peak from late summer into mid-fall.

Does pollen in Boerne 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 Boerne 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 Boerne, 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.
