NE pollen report
Lincoln Pollen Report
Lincoln sits in Nebraska's Salt Creek valley in the heart of the Great Plains — prairie grass country with a full-strength Midwest allergy calendar. Elm and oak drive the spring, native and lawn grasses run through a hot, windy summer, and fall ragweed counts are reliably heavy. Wind is a constant companion, and it keeps pollen moving across the plains.

What drives allergies in Lincoln
Trees: elm, oak, and ash (March – May)
Elm starts early, with oaks (Quercus) and ash dominating April across the city's canopy.
Grasses: bluegrass and prairie grasses (May – July)
Lawn bluegrass and native prairie grasses pollinate heavily in June — peak grass month on the plains.
Weeds: ragweed (August – frost)
Nebraska is prime ragweed territory. Common and giant ragweed (Ambrosia) fill field edges and roadsides, and fall counts stay high until a hard frost.
Mold: storm-linked
Humid stretches and the plains' frequent thunderstorms keep Alternaria and Cladosporium active through summer and fall.
Pollen patterns in Lincoln
