On 16 July 2026, Ambrosia is the dominant pollen source in West Palm Beach. grass are also present but at lower levels. alder, artemisia, birch, cypress, oak, and willow are not currently active.

West Palm Beach's subtropical coastal setting produces a near year-round pollen season, with oak, palm, and Australian pine contributing through winter and spring. Grass pollen peaks through March and April, with a secondary peak after summer rains. The Atlantic coast position means onshore breezes can periodically disperse pollen, while surrounding Palm Beach County wetlands and coastal grasslands contribute substantial grass and reed pollen throughout the extended season.

The West Palm Beach 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 West Palm Beach, 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.
