Fort Myers Pollen Report
Fort Myers' subtropical Gulf climate means plants barely stop pollinating. Oak and pine cover Southwest Florida in late winter, Bahia grass runs from spring through fall, ragweed carries autumn, and Gulf humidity keeps mold spores active in essentially every month. Allergy season here is year-round with peaks, not a season with an end.

What drives allergies in Fort Myers
Trees: oak, pine, and melaleuca (January – April)
Live oak (Quercus virginiana) is the biggest spring allergen, with pine, cypress, and the invasive melaleuca contributing from winter onward.
Grasses: Bahia and Bermuda (March – November)
Bahia grass (Paspalum notatum) — Southwest Florida's standard roadside grass — pollinates for most of the year.
Weeds: ragweed (August – November)
Ragweed pollinates through the fall, overlapping with grass season and rainy-season mold.
Mold: Gulf humidity year-round
Warm, humid air keeps Alternaria and Cladosporium active in every month, with peaks after the summer rainy season and tropical systems.

Frequently asked questions
What is the pollen count in Fort Myers today?
PollyMap publishes real, microscope-verified pollen counts for Fort Myers — measured from physical air samples. The latest report on this page shows current tree, grass, weed, and mold levels.
Is the pollen count high in Fort Myers right now?
Something is almost always pollinating in Fort Myers: oak in late winter, Bahia grass most of the year, ragweed in fall, mold year-round. The measured reports on this page show today's actual levels.
When is allergy season in Fort Myers?
Effectively year-round: oak and pine January–April, grasses March–November, ragweed August–November, and mold whenever it's warm and humid.
Why do allergies flare after summer storms in Fort Myers?
Rain feeds mold and bursts spores into the air, and Southwest Florida's rainy season overlaps with grass season — post-storm spikes are common.
Is pollen still bad in Fort Myers in the fall?
Yes. Fort Myers rarely sees a frost, so ragweed runs through October, grass pollen can persist into the cooler months, and mold spores stay active in the warm, humid air.
