Local Environmental Conditions
The area around this site in Oakhurst is heavily wooded. Among allergenic trees nearby, oak is the main source. Beyond the trees, grasses matter a great deal, and plantain is the main weed source. Gaps in the canopy, trails and forest edges give grasses and herbs room to grow. Much of the pollen in dense woodland is released high in the canopy, where the wind carries it easily.
The pollen year opens with oak, peaking around mid-spring. From mid-spring, grass pollen rises to a peak around late spring before easing off by midsummer. Plantain brings a later peak from mid-spring into midsummer. Winters average around 5°C and summers around 30°C, with most rain falling in the cooler months.

Does pollen in Oakhurst 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 Oakhurst 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 Oakhurst, 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.
