Beyond today’s pollen
What this forecast doesn’t measure, and when to get help.
No mold level
Google’s index covers tree, grass and weed pollen only, so there is no mold level for Huntsville on this page. The National Allergy Bureau publishes pollen and mold counts measured at its stations. Our guides cover common molds such as Alternaria, Cladosporium and Aspergillus.
No indoor allergens
The forecast doesn’t cover allergens indoors either: dust mites, cockroaches, mice, cats and dogs. Our guides explain each one, starting with dust mites and cats.
Asthma in Huntsville
An estimated 9.8% of adults in the city of Huntsville have current asthma, according to the CDC’s PLACES estimate for 2023 (95% confidence interval: 8.6% to 11.0%). It is a statistical estimate from national survey data, not a count.
Allergists in the Huntsville area
5 allergists enrolled in Medicare practice in the Huntsville area: 0.90 for every 100,000 people, fewer than the 1.22 across the US. The count doesn’t show how soon you can get an appointment. See the doctors listed in the Huntsville area, or how every state and metro compares.

Huntsville’s pollen seasons
The geography, climate and plants behind each season here, with a source for every fact.
Foothills of the Appalachian Mountains almost surround Huntsville, while the broad Tennessee River Valley, flat to gently rolling, extends to the west.2 The river winds westward about 7 miles south of the city, and ridges of 1,200 to 1,600 feet rise to the northeast, east and southeast of the airport.2
On average, the last spring freeze comes in late March and the first fall freeze in late October.2 About 54 inches of precipitation falls at the airport in a typical year.1 Apart from an infrequent long dry spell, it is spread through the year in a way that gives plants adequate moisture, the weather service notes.2
Across Alabama, specialists believe pollen counts are highest in April, May, June and September, the state health officer wrote in 2024.3 Green ash, a native tree that occurs throughout the state, grows in habitats from floodplain forests to hardwood slopes.4 Its flowers appear before its leaves, and male and female flowers grow on separate trees.4
