Species driving Spearfish’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.

River-corridor elm, cottonwood and ash open from March in South Dakota, while North Dakota’s trees flower in late spring, in May. This month sits outside the usual tree pollen window for the Northern Plains pattern, so today’s tree pollen reading is the modelled value outranking the calendar — this page reports the modelled reading first. The South Dakota allergy season guide singles out river-corridor cottonwood, elm and ash in spring, and a divided fall — ragweed in the east, sagebrush in the west.
