Santee's inland San Diego setting produces a season opening in January with olive and coastal sage before grass from surrounding San Diego County land peaks through March and April. Mugwort extends exposure into September, while the inland valley setting means higher temperatures than in coastal San Diego cities and the Santa Ana winds can periodically transport pollen across the Santee Valley.

The Santee 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 Santee, 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.
