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 Jackson 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 Jackson
An estimated 11.0% of adults in the city of Jackson have current asthma, according to the CDC’s PLACES estimate for 2023 (95% confidence interval: 9.7% to 12.4%). It is a statistical estimate from national survey data, not a count.
Allergists in the Jackson area
15 allergists enrolled in Medicare practice in the Jackson area: 2.46 for every 100,000 people, more 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 Jackson area, or how every state and metro compares.

Jackson’s pollen seasons
The geography, climate and plants behind each season here, with a source for every fact.
Forests cover about 19.9 million acres of Mississippi, more than 65 percent of the state’s land area.2 The state’s major forest types include oak-hickory and loblolly and shortleaf pine.2 At the Jackson airport, winters average about 49 °F, and a typical year has about 245 days between the last spring freeze and the first fall freeze.1
Loblolly pine, a tree native to the southeastern United States, is grown in Mississippi for lumber and paper.3 A Mississippi State University turfgrass specialist wrote in 2011 that, outside the state’s extreme northern counties, ryegrass, bluegrass and fescues make poor permanent lawns.4 He listed centipede, Bermudagrass, carpetgrass, zoysia and Bahia among the warm-season choices for seeding.4
In the South, goldenrods bloom along roadways and natural areas from late August to a peak around the third week of September.5 Their big pollen grains need insects to move them.5 Ragweed, which blooms at the same time, makes loads of small pollen grains that the wind spreads easily.5
