Pollen in Milwaukee, WI

About pollen in Milwaukee

Pollen is essentially a non-issue in Milwaukee today. Tree pollen is sitting at none, and there is no indication of any other type stirring either. For most residents, including those who typically react to maple, pine, honeylocust, linden, or ash, this should be a comfortable day with little to no outdoor irritation from pollen. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to remain quiet, with tree pollen staying flat at none through the forecast period. This lines up with the season: mid-November falls well after the fall allergy window and long before local trees begin releasing pollen again in spring. Barring any unusual weather swings, allergy sufferers can expect this calm stretch to continue for now.
