Pecos sits on flat desert farmland along the Pecos River in far West Texas, where the dominant vegetation is a mix of irrigated cantaloupe and cotton fields, Chihuahuan Desert scrub, and riverside salt cedar, shaping the local pollen profile across the seasons. None of this is unusual for a town with Pecos's particular mix of terrain and plant life. None of this differs sharply from one year to the next barring unusual weather.

How often is the Pecos pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Pecos 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 Pecos 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 Pecos, 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.
