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 Cape Coral 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 Cape Coral
An estimated 9.4% of adults in the city of Cape Coral have current asthma, according to the CDC’s PLACES estimate for 2023 (95% confidence interval: 8.4% to 10.5%). It is a statistical estimate from national survey data, not a count.
Allergists in the Cape Coral area
7 allergists enrolled in Medicare practice in the Cape Coral area: 0.80 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 Cape Coral area, or how every state and metro compares.

Cape Coral’s pollen seasons
The geography, climate and plants behind each season here, with a source for every fact.
Freeze-free years are typical at Page Field in Fort Myers, 9 miles from Cape Coral, where winters average about 66 °F.1 The National Weather Service dates Southwest Florida’s rainy season from May 15 to October 15.2 It ties the season’s thunderstorms to a northward shift of tropical climate in summer, combined with the surrounding oceans and daily sea breezes.2
Red maple grows wild in wet areas as far south as mainland Monroe County and flowers between January and March.3 For Florida’s 11 oak species, February to May is the peak pollinating season.4
Australian pine, found throughout South Florida, was brought to the state in the late 1800s as a salt-tolerant tree for shade and coastal windbreaks.5 Its pollen is highly allergenic, and the State of Florida classifies it as a noxious weed that may not be cultivated or planted.5 Among weeds, UF/IFAS names ragweed, dog fennel and pigweed as highly allergenic, and weeds in Florida may pollinate in spring, summer, fall and even winter.4
