Local Environmental Conditions
The landscape around this site in San Luis Obispo is heavily wooded. The surrounding woodland makes trees an important local pollen source. Gaps in the canopy, trails and forest edges give grasses and herbs room to grow. Much of the pollen in dense woodland is released high in the canopy, where the wind carries it easily.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in early spring. Grasses take over in late spring, with temperatures around 15°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. Winter is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen. 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 Luis Obispo pollen forecast updated?
The San Luis Obispo pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in San Luis Obispo 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 Luis Obispo 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 Luis Obispo, 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. |
