Species driving Caribou’s grass pollen

The modelled data reports grass as one combined index — there is no species-by-species split for grass anywhere in the data, so this page does not invent one. Today’s modelled grass index for Caribou is 5 (Low), and the 5-day overall trend above shows the shape of the week.

As regional context only — not as today’s readings — in the Northern New England pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are spring birch, maple and oak, summer hayfield grasses and a short late-summer ragweed run.

The Maine allergy season guide singles out birch, a signature spring pollen, released with maple and oak in a rapid April and May burst.
