Local Environmental Conditions
Clovis's setting on the flat farmland of the Llano Estacado plains supports shortgrass prairie, cottonwood windbreaks, and farmland crops as the leading local vegetation, all factoring into the pollen count through the year. None of this is unusual for a town with Clovis's particular mix of terrain and plant life. Residents who spend time outdoors around Clovis typically notice the shift as each season turns over.
Pollen season in Clovis starts with palo verde and mesquite in January with mulberry taking the lead through February. Grass follows, peaking through March and April, while summer monsoon rains from July through September trigger a second, smaller pollen peak. Dry desert air lets pollen travel widely once released, with the spring peak the most intense stretch, a defining feature of the local season.

| 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. |
