Local Environmental Conditions
Greeley's parks, including Glenmere Park and the Cache la Poudre River corridor, feature cottonwood, ash, and oak as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Colorado farmland and the open plains contribute substantial grass and crop pollen, while the Front Range setting channels prevailing westerly winds and can concentrate pollen across the city.
Greeley's pollen season opens with elm and cottonwood from late February, followed by ash and oak through April and May. Grass pollen peaks through June and July. The Cache la Poudre valley and the Front Range setting channel prevailing westerly winds and can concentrate pollen across the city, while surrounding Colorado farmland contributes substantial grass and crop pollen. The semi-arid climate means fewer rainfall interruptions than in eastern US cities.

How often is the Greeley pollen forecast updated?
The Greeley pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Greeley 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 Greeley 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 Greeley, 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 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
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. |
