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 Atlanta 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 Atlanta
An estimated 9.9% of adults in the city of Atlanta have current asthma, according to the CDC’s PLACES estimate for 2023 (95% confidence interval: 8.9% to 11.0%). It is a statistical estimate from national survey data, not a count.
Allergists in the Atlanta area
77 allergists enrolled in Medicare practice in the Atlanta area: 1.19 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 Atlanta area, or how every state and metro compares.

Atlanta’s pollen seasons
The geography, climate and plants behind each season here, with a source for every fact.
Trees cover close to half of Atlanta: Georgia Tech researchers measured the city’s tree canopy at 45.7% of its land in 2023, down from 47.9% in 2008.2 Mature hardwood forests of native oaks, hickories, beeches and other species covered many sites before they were cleared, the researchers note, and some graded ground is now covered with dense young pines.2 The most commonly planted species in the city, by far, is red maple.2
At the airport, a typical year brings about 252 days between the last spring freeze and the first fall freeze, and about 50 inches of precipitation.1
Pollen data reported by the University of Georgia show Georgia’s season peaking in early to mid-April, receding in mid-May and returning in mid-August.3 In fall, a UGA Extension agent in DeKalb County says, ragweed is the dominant allergy producer.3 Bermuda grass lawns produce abundant pollen, and the common seeded kind produces more than sod hybrids.3
