Local Environmental Conditions
The area around this part of San Bruno is mostly built-up land, with some open water. Grasses and weeds such as plantain and pigweed round out the local mix. Locally, street trees, parks and lawns are the main sources in the built-up parts. Roadside verges and patches of open ground provide further room for grasses and weeds.
Then come the grasses, strongest in early fall and fading by mid-fall. The season closes with plantain and pigweed from early summer into mid-fall. Rain is heaviest in winter, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels. Actual levels on any given day depend on the weather, with dry, breezy days the worst and wet days the mildest.

How often is the San Bruno pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in San Bruno 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 San Bruno 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 San Bruno, 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. |
