This area, within easy reach, has hazel and willow thrive along the damp bank, both prolific early wind-pollinators. Located within easy reach, this area has this patch of forest is largely oak and birch, a pairing known for heavy spring pollen output. Here, just around the area, the park's turf and planted trees form a small but steady source of grass and ragweed pollen.

By mid-spring, oak and birch in the woods take over, cresting around April and May in the year's sharpest tree-pollen spike. Grass pollen climbs toward a June peak, then yields to ragweed, the dominant late-summer and fall allergen through October.
How often is the Oregon pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Oregon 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 Oregon 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 Oregon, 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.
