Local Environmental Conditions
The landscape around the center of Ken Caryl is largely open grassland, with some built-up land. Along a stream or river nearby, trees such as willow and poplar grow in the damper ground and add their own pollen. Poplar heads the list of allergenic trees nearby, ahead of maple. Grasses and weeds such as mugwort and pigweed round out the local mix.
Poplar and maple lead the season in mid-spring, as temperatures climb to around 5°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grasses take over in early summer and keep pollen in the air into early fall. Mugwort and pigweed bring a final peak from midsummer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in spring, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

Does pollen in Ken Caryl 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 Ken Caryl 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 Ken Caryl, 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. |
