Upland's inland San Gabriel Valley foothill setting features olive, walnut, and pepper tree as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between the foothills residential areas and the more built-up commercial corridors along Foothill Boulevard. The alluvial fan setting creates distinct gradients between the hillier northern residential areas and the flatter southern commercial zones throughout the pollen season.

When is pollen season in Upland?
Upland's inland San Gabriel Valley setting produces a season opening in January with olive and palm before grass from surrounding Inland Empire land peaks through March and April. Mugwort extends exposure into September, while the hot, dry inland climate concentrates the main season in spring and the Santa Ana winds can periodically transport pollen down from the mountains.
How often is the Upland pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Upland 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 Upland 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 Upland, 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.
