As a neighborhood within Oklahoma City, Uptown 23rd follows the same seasonal pollen curve, opening with maple and elm from March with oak joining in and continuing through April. Grass pollen then peaks through May and June, and ragweed extends the season into September. A humid continental climate drives a sharp spring tree peak and an equally distinct late-summer ragweed run, which shapes conditions at Uptown 23rd much as it does elsewhere in Oklahoma City.

The Oklahoma City pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

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.

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 Oklahoma City, 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.
