Local Environmental Conditions
This site in Denver is surrounded mainly by built-up land, which covers around 83% of the nearby area. Lawns and planted trees in a nearby park add to local grass and tree pollen. Allergenic trees nearby include oak, maple and juniper. Grass pollen is significant here, and pigweed and mugwort contribute weed pollen.
Tree pollen peaks in late spring, when the weather warms to around 15°C and oak, maple and juniper are in full flower. Grass pollen follows, peaking in early summer and easing off by early fall. Later, pigweed and mugwort keep weed pollen in the air from early summer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in spring, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

How often is the Denver pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Denver 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 Denver 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 Denver, 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.
