Very Low Pollen in Milwaukee, WI

About pollen in Milwaukee

Tree pollen is the only category registering in Milwaukee today, and it remains at a very low level. Sources like ash, pine, maple, honeylocust, and syringa are contributing little to the air right now, so most people should notice no real irritation from tree pollen at this point in the season. Looking ahead, the next several days are expected to hold steady at this same low level, with no meaningful increase in tree pollen on the horizon. This fits the typical summer pattern for the region, since the heavier tree pollen releases from species like maple and ash are a springtime event that has largely passed. With grass season winding down and ragweed still weeks away from its usual late-summer rise, this is generally a quieter stretch for pollen in Milwaukee.
