Caldwell's Treasure Valley Idaho setting features cottonwood, Russian olive, and sagebrush as the main pollen sources, with exposure varying between the irrigated residential and agricultural areas along the Boise River and the surrounding high desert. The Boise River corridor is a particularly significant local source, while the stark contrast between the irrigated valley floor vegetation and the surrounding native sagebrush steppe creates the most distinctive local pollen variation across the city.

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