Plainview sits on flat cotton and wheat farmland on the Texas South Plains, where the dominant vegetation is a mix of cotton fields, shortgrass prairie, and irrigated wheat, shaping the local pollen profile across the seasons. None of this is unusual for a town with Plainview's particular mix of terrain and plant life. Small local variations aside, this pattern holds fairly steady from year to year.

Does pollen in Plainview 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 Plainview 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 Plainview, 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.
