OH pollen report
Akron Pollen Report
Akron sits in northeast Ohio's rolling farm-and-forest country, south of Lake Erie's snow belt. Oak and maple bury the city each spring, grasses carry the summer, and ragweed fills the region's field edges every fall until the first frost. The Cuyahoga River valley's humidity keeps mold active through the warm months.
