Species driving Metairie’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 20 (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.
Mountain cedar runs from December to March in the west of the region, and oak leads the spring. This month sits outside the usual tree pollen window for the Gulf & South Texas pattern, so today’s tree pollen reading is the modelled value outranking the calendar — this page reports the modelled reading first. The Louisiana allergy season guide singles out an early February tree start and outdoor mold, elevated much of the year in the Gulf humidity.
