Local Environmental Conditions
Most of the area around the heart of Pueblo West is built-up land, with a good deal of open grassland and some bare ground. Lawns and planted trees in a nearby park add to local grass and tree pollen. In the immediate area, open grassland adds grass and weed pollen; planted trees and mown lawns are the main sources in the built-up parts.
Then come the grasses, strongest in late spring and fading by early fall. Weeds on open ground add a smaller late peak from early summer into early fall. Summer is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.

Does pollen in Pueblo West 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 Pueblo West 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 Pueblo West, 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.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
