Species driving Edmonton’s grass pollen
The modelled data reports grass as one combined index — there is no species-by-species split for grass anywhere in the data, so this page does not invent one. Today’s modelled grass index for Edmonton is 12 (Low), and the 5-day overall trend above shows the shape of the week.
As regional context only — not as today’s readings — in the South-Central Plains pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are spring trees, prairie grasses and late-summer ragweed.

What this grass pollen level means
Low risk. Keep windows open; consider allergy meds only if sensitive.
Enjoy outdoor activities.
Prairie grasses take over in late May and hold the summer. This month sits outside the usual grass pollen window for the South-Central Plains pattern, so today’s grass pollen reading is the modelled value outranking the calendar — this page reports the modelled reading first. No Alberta allergy season guide is published yet, so the seasonal context here follows the South-Central Plains regional pattern.
