Local Environmental Conditions
Capulin Volcano National Monument is a volcanic landform with mountain mahogany, scrub oak, and grasslands. High elevation tempers the season; grasses and oak produce modest pollen in June and July.
Capulin Volcano National Monument's pollen season lines up with the rest of Capulin Volcano, starting with palo verde and mesquite in January with mulberry joining in and continuing through February. Grass pollen builds through March and April, and a second grass and weed peak follows the summer monsoon rains from July through September. Little spring rainfall means few natural breaks in pollen release once the season starts throughout the year.

How often is the Capulin Volcano pollen forecast updated?
The Capulin Volcano pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Capulin Volcano 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 Capulin Volcano 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 Capulin Volcano, 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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
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. |
