What this tree pollen level means

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 Michigan allergy season guide singles out birch and oak in a compressed late-spring stack, and ragweed as the heavy fall finish.
