Notre Dame HS's Baseball Diamond sits in the Sherman Oaks suburban landscape of the San Fernando Valley, with introduced olive, eucalyptus, and California sycamore as the main surrounding pollen sources. The Santa Monica Mountains nearby contribute native chaparral and oak pollen, while the mild Southern California climate advances the season and the valley setting can concentrate pollen under certain conditions throughout.

Does pollen in Sherman Oaks 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 Sherman Oaks 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 Sherman Oaks, 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.
