Species driving Durham’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 0.6 (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.

Alder and maple stir in late March in the south, and the burst crests through April and May — birch above all, with maple and oak — later with every mile north. This month sits outside the usual tree pollen window for the Northern New England pattern, so today’s tree pollen reading is the modelled value outranking the calendar — this page reports the modelled reading first. The New Hampshire allergy season guide singles out birch, a signature northern allergen, flowering together with maple and oak in spring.
