Local Environmental Conditions
Wichita Falls' parks, including Lucy Park and the Wichita River corridor, feature elm, ash, and cottonwood as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding North Texas prairie and farmland contribute substantial grass and crop pollen, while the flat, open landscape allows pollen to disperse widely across the city under prevailing southerly winds.
Wichita Falls' pollen season opens with elm and ash from late January in the mild North Texas climate. Grass pollen peaks through April and May, with ragweed extending the season into October. The flat, open North Texas prairie and farmland landscape allows pollen to disperse widely under prevailing southerly winds, while the semi-arid climate means fewer rainfall interruptions than in eastern US cities during the spring season.

Does pollen in Wichita Falls 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 Wichita Falls 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 Wichita Falls, 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.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
