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 Springfield 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 11.3% of adults in the city of Springfield have current asthma, according to the CDC’s PLACES estimate for 2023 (95% confidence interval: 10.1% to 12.7%). It is a statistical estimate from national survey data, not a count.
6 allergists enrolled in Medicare practice in the Springfield area: 1.20 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 Springfield area, or how every state and metro compares.

The geography, climate and plants behind each season here, with a source for every fact.
Weather records from Springfield help describe the climate of the Springfield Plain, in the western part of the Ozark Uplift.2 That climate is continental, with strong seasons, and most rain falls in summer thunderstorms.2 A typical year at Springfield’s weather station brings about 45 inches of precipitation and about 199 days between the last spring freeze and the first fall freeze.1
In Missouri, trees and grasses release most of their pollen in spring, while weed pollen is highest in summer.3 Eastern red cedar grows statewide, on glades, bluffs, pastures, old fields and fencerows, and sheds pollen from March to May.4 It was uncommon in Missouri before European settlement, but fire suppression and other changes in land use have made it commonplace.4
On the Springfield Plain’s shallow limestone glades, little bluestem and sideoats grama are the dominant grasses, and many such glades suffer substantial redcedar invasion.2 Tall fescue, a grass introduced from Europe and commonly sown for pasture and hay, grows statewide and blooms from April through July, sometimes into October.5 Common ragweed grows nearly statewide and blooms from July to November, releasing its pollen to the wind.6
Answered from the values on this page.
Very little. None of the plants Google models is above 0 in Springfield today.
No. It’s Google’s modeled pollen index, from 0 (none) to 5 (very high), calculated for the location of central Springfield. 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 Springfield, 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.
Since October 14, 2026. The year in pollen above fills in as each day is recorded, and weeks before then show no data. Google doesn’t provide past values, so nothing earlier can be added.
