Enjoy outdoor activities.
Trees run from March into May, later near the big lakes. This month sits outside the usual tree pollen window for the Midwest & Great Lakes pattern, so today’s tree pollen reading is the modelled value outranking the calendar — this page reports the modelled reading first. The Iowa allergy season guide singles out ragweed, the state’s dominant allergen, over a maple, oak and hickory spring.
