Santa Clara's pollen season opens with acacia and tree pollen from January in the mild Santa Clara Valley climate. Oak follows through March and April, with grass peaking through April and May. The flat valley setting allows substantial farmland grass pollen to accumulate, while onshore bay breezes can periodically moderate pollen levels. The dry summer largely suppresses mid-season pollen across the Silicon Valley area.

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

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.

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 Santa Clara, 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.
