What this tree pollen level means

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

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 Indiana allergy season guide singles out ragweed above all — the state’s defining allergen — over a maple, elm and oak spring.
