Local Environmental Conditions
Located just around the area, this area has water here is bordered by aspen and willow, both notable contributors to spring pollen at elevation. Forest where lodgepole pine and aspen make up much of the canopy, driving spring conifer pollen counts; this sits near this part of town. Small shifts in elevation or soil type can move these figures a little either way.
Temperatures here typically swing from about -13°C in January up to 14°C in July; the 525 mm annual rainfall is spread fairly evenly across the year. Pollen activity typically picks up as temperatures climb out of the January low, from around February onward.

How often is the Minturn pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Minturn 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 Minturn 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 Minturn, 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. |
