Local Environmental Conditions
The landscape around this site in Dunsmuir is heavily wooded. Lawns and planted trees in a nearby park add to local grass and tree pollen. Oak is the most prominent allergenic tree nearby, with maple also present. Grass pollen adds noticeably to the overall load. Gaps in the canopy, trails and forest edges give grasses and herbs room to grow.
Tree pollen peaks in late spring, when the weather warms to around 10°C and oak and maple are in full flower. Grass pollen follows, peaking in early summer and easing off by early fall. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in winter, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

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

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
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. |
