Species driving St. Helens’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 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 hazelnut can start in January west of the Cascades, with maple and oak following through April and May. This month sits outside the usual tree pollen window for the Pacific Northwest pattern, so today’s tree pollen reading is the modelled value outranking the calendar — this page reports the modelled reading first. The Oregon allergy season guide singles out alder and hazelnut early, then the Willamette Valley’s seed grasses.
