Midland's semi-arid setting in the Permian Basin means sparse native scrub and introduced trees along streets and in parks such as Wadley-Barron Park are the main pollen sources, with exposure varying between these greener areas and the more arid urban core. Surrounding West Texas grassland and agricultural land contribute seasonal grass and crop pollen, while the flat, open landscape allows pollen to disperse widely.

Does pollen in Midland 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 Midland 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 Midland, 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.
