Grass pollen then peaks through March and April, and mugwort extends exposure into September. Onshore Pacific breezes periodically clear the air, though inland valleys can still see elevated counts, which shapes conditions at Mount Shasta City Park much as it does elsewhere in Mount Shasta.
How often is the Mount Shasta pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Mount Shasta 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 Mount Shasta 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 Mount Shasta, 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.
