Low Pollen in Madison, WI

About pollen in Madison

Pollen levels in Madison are modest today, with both grass and tree pollen sitting at low (level 2 on the 0–5 scale) and an overall index of 2. Grass is the type to watch heading into the next several days, holding steady at low through most of the forecast before easing slightly at the end of the window. Tree pollen, by contrast, is forecast to dip even further, hovering at the lowest measurable level. That fits the season: late June puts us past the spring peak for trees like Ash, Maple, Syringa, Celtis, and Corylus, and squarely in the stretch when grasses tend to dominate. No weed data is available right now, though ragweed typically becomes the main concern later in summer and into fall.
