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 Fayetteville 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 Fayetteville
An estimated 10.7% of adults in the city of Fayetteville have current asthma, according to the CDC’s PLACES estimate for 2023 (95% confidence interval: 9.5% to 12.0%). It is a statistical estimate from national survey data, not a count.
Allergists in the Fayetteville area
7 allergists enrolled in Medicare practice in the Fayetteville area: 1.13 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 Fayetteville area, or how every state and metro compares.

Fayetteville’s pollen seasons
The geography, climate and plants behind each season here, with a source for every fact.
A 10,000-acre tallgrass prairie once occupied part of the Springfield Plateau of the Ozark Mountains around Rogers.2 A 12.5-acre remnant survives within the Rogers city limits, and big bluestem, little bluestem, prairie cordgrass and switchgrass occur across it.2
Upland potential natural vegetation on the Springfield Plateau is primarily oak–hickory and oak–hickory–pine forest, and fire once maintained savannas and tall grass prairies there.3 Today, agriculture or expanding residential areas have replaced most of the forest and almost all of the prairies.3
Cedars, oaks, pines, hickories, grass and ragweed all rely on the wind to carry their pollen, the state’s extension service notes.4 Each spring, the male catkins of post oak release millions of pollen grains.4 A typical year at Drake Field brings about 47 inches of precipitation and about 188 days between the last spring freeze and the first fall freeze.1
