Pueblo's parks, including City Park and the Arkansas River corridor, feature cottonwood, ash, and elm as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Colorado high plains and the Wet Mountains to the southwest contribute substantial grass and tree pollen, while the open, semi-arid landscape allows pollen to disperse widely across the city.

When is pollen season in Pueblo?
Pueblo's pollen season opens with elm and cottonwood from late February, followed by ash through March and April. Grass pollen peaks through May and June. The Arkansas River valley channels airflows and concentrates pollen, while surrounding Colorado high plains and semi-arid grassland contribute substantial grass pollen. The open, dry landscape allows pollen to disperse widely under prevailing winds, with fewer rainfall interruptions than in eastern US cities.
How often is the Pueblo pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Pueblo 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 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, 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.
