Species driving Waimea’s tree pollen
Species-level counts are not part of the modelled data Pollen Atlas publishes — the modelled index is reported per pollen type, not per species — so this section gives the type summary: tree pollen reads 19 (Low) today. The plant-by-plant detail that is available, from the Google Pollen API, is in the next section.

What this tree pollen level means
Low risk. Keep windows open; consider allergy meds only if sensitive.
Enjoy outdoor activities.
Kiawe, the signature tree of the dry leeward lowlands, flowers most heavily in late winter and spring, in overlapping waves rather than a single spring flush. This month sits outside the usual tree pollen window for the Hawaii pattern, so today’s tree pollen reading is the modelled value outranking the calendar — this page reports the modelled reading first. The Hawaii allergy season guide singles out kiawe, flowering most heavily in late winter and spring, and grasses that pollinate in nearly every month.
