The vegetation around Grants Pass, on the Rogue Valley in the Siskiyou Mountains foothills, is dominated by Douglas fir and oak woodland and madrone, with manzanita adding further seasonal pollen exposure. Wind patterns across the area help determine how far pollen travels from these source plants. As with most of the region, counts tend to build gradually rather than spike overnight.

Does pollen in Grants Pass 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 Grants Pass 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 Grants Pass, 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.
