Local Environmental Conditions
This site in Boulder sits in a varied landscape of open grassland, built-up land and woodland. Lawns and planted trees in a nearby park add to local grass and tree pollen. The leading allergenic tree nearby is maple, with poplar and elm close behind. Grasses and weeds such as mugwort and ragweed round out the local mix.
Elm opens the pollen season in early spring. Tree pollen peaks in mid-spring, when the weather warms to around 10°C and maple and poplar are in full flower. Grasses take over in early summer, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. Mugwort and ragweed bring a final peak from midsummer into early fall.

When is pollen season in Boulder?
How often is the Boulder pollen forecast updated?
The Boulder pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Boulder 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 Boulder 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 Boulder, 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. |
