Low risk. Keep windows open; consider allergy meds only if sensitive.

Alder and hazelnut can start in January west of the Cascades, with maple and oak following through April and May. This month sits outside the usual tree pollen window for the Pacific Northwest pattern, so today’s tree pollen reading is the modelled value outranking the calendar — this page reports the modelled reading first. No British Columbia allergy season guide is published yet, so the seasonal context here follows the Pacific Northwest regional pattern.
