Local Environmental Conditions
This site in Colorado Springs is surrounded mainly by built-up land, which covers around 73% of the nearby area, with some woodland. Oak is the most prominent allergenic tree nearby, with juniper also present. Beyond the trees, grasses matter a great deal, and mugwort and pigweed are the main weed sources. Compared with most places, oak is especially widespread here, which makes it one of the key local allergens.
Oak and juniper lead the season in late spring, as temperatures climb to around 10°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grasses take over in early summer, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into late summer. The season closes with mugwort and pigweed from midsummer into early fall. The oak period in late spring is usually the most intense time of year here.

Does pollen in Colorado Springs 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 Colorado Springs 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 Colorado Springs, 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.
