grass pollen.

Poaceae · Grass

The pollen of late spring and early summer, from lawns, fields and roadsides.

Usual season in the US

April to August

Typical months; the stronger marks are the usual peak. Seasons shift with region, weather and year.

Where it grows

Grasses grow everywhere. In the North the season peaks in May and June; in the South, warm-season grasses can keep going for much of the year.

Good to know

The forecast treats grasses as one pollen type, since their grains look alike. Mowing day and warm, breezy afternoons are when many people notice them.
