Local Environmental Conditions
The area around this part of Houston is a mix of woodland and built-up land, plus some open grassland. A watercourse nearby means riverside trees such as willow, poplar and plane tree are part of the local pollen picture. The leading allergenic tree nearby is oak, with elm and juniper close behind. Grass pollen is plentiful, while plantain and ragweed lead among the weeds.
The pollen year starts in midwinter, when elm and juniper flower. Oak follows in early spring, as temperatures climb to around 20°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Then come the grasses, strongest in mid-spring and fading by mid-fall. Plantain and ragweed flower through much of the warmer half of the year. Warm, damp weather from early spring into early summer also raises mold spore levels.

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