KS pollen report
Wichita Pollen Report
Wichita sits where the Arkansas River crosses the Kansas prairie — and it's one of the windiest cities in the country, which keeps pollen moving. Oak and walnut drive the spring, prairie and lawn grasses carry the summer, and Kansas ragweed makes fall the roughest stretch of all. Windy days are the worst days.

What drives allergies in Wichita
Trees: oak, walnut, and cedar (March – May)
Oak (Quercus) and black walnut drive the spring, with eastern red cedar starting as early as February. April is the peak.
Grasses: prairie and bluegrass (May – August)
The surrounding prairie and town lawns pollinate heavily in June, carried far on Kansas winds.
Weeds: ragweed (August – frost)
Kansas grows ragweed (Ambrosia) abundantly; September counts are among the heaviest in the Midwest.
Mold: river corridor and harvest
Arkansas River humidity and the wheat harvest keep Alternaria and Cladosporium active through the warm months.
