What this forecast doesn’t measure, and when to get help.
Google’s index covers tree, grass and weed pollen only, so there is no mold level for Minneapolis 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.
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.
An estimated 10.2% of adults in the city of Minneapolis have current asthma, according to the CDC’s PLACES estimate for 2023 (95% confidence interval: 9.3% to 11.3%). It is a statistical estimate from national survey data, not a count.
44 allergists enrolled in Medicare practice in the Minneapolis area: 1.16 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 Minneapolis area, or how every state and metro compares.

The geography, climate and plants behind each season here, with a source for every fact.
Four tree genera once filled most of the public street tree population in Minneapolis.2 In 2010, maple made up 28% of it, ash 18%, linden 16% and elm 12%.2 Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board foresters, who select and plant the city’s public trees, follow guidelines that limit how many trees of one genus go on a block or in a neighborhood.2 The Park Board also launched a plan to replace 40,000 public ash trees over eight years.2 By 2024, maple was down to 19% and linden to 12%, and 21 genera each made up at least 1% of street trees.2
An earlier USDA Forest Service analysis, published in 2005, found green ash the most common street tree species, at 14.4%, ahead of sugar maple at 13.1% and Norway maple at 11.8%.3 A 2011 study of ragweed pollen across central North America drew on 19 years of Minneapolis records.4 It estimated that the local season grew 16 days longer between 1995 and 2009, one of the increases the study marked as significant.4
Winters are cold, averaging about 20 °F.1 A typical year brings about 176 days between the last spring freeze and the first fall freeze, and about 32 inches of precipitation.1
Answered from the values on this page.
Very little. None of the plants Google models is above 0 in Minneapolis today.
No. It’s Google’s modeled pollen index, from 0 (none) to 5 (very high), calculated for the location of central Minneapolis. A pollen count is the number of pollen grains measured in a cubic meter of air at a counting station. How our pollen index works.
Twice a day. We fetch new values soon after midnight in Minneapolis, so each day starts with its own values, and again after Google’s daily model run, usually by about 9:30 am CT. Each section shows when its values were retrieved.
