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 Albuquerque 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 9.9% of adults in the city of Albuquerque have current asthma, according to the CDC’s PLACES estimate for 2023 (95% confidence interval: 8.7% to 11.1%). It is a statistical estimate from national survey data, not a count.
12 allergists enrolled in Medicare practice in the Albuquerque area: 1.30 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 Albuquerque area, or how every state and metro compares.

The geography, climate and plants behind each season here, with a source for every fact.
Since 1994, a city ordinance has aimed to discourage planting the trees and shrubs that “create the greatest pollen health problems” in Albuquerque.2 Today the city lists all cypress and mulberry trees as prohibited.3 Elms, cottonwoods and poplars are restricted apart from a few listed exceptions, and male junipers are allowed only if they grow no taller than 2 feet when mature.3 Ash and sycamore trees sold in the city must be labeled as high pollen and high allergen potential.3
The airport records about 9 inches of rain and other precipitation in an average year.1 A typical year there has about 208 days between the last spring freeze and the first fall freeze.1
The city runs two pollen samplers and counts pollen every weekday.4 In 14 years of its data, mulberry, juniper, elm, ash and cottonwood rank as the top five pollen-producing trees.3 Most elm pollen in Bernalillo County comes from Siberian elm, and most mulberry pollen in Albuquerque from fruitless white mulberry.5 The sage pollen the city identifies in Bernalillo County comes mostly from sagebrush.5 Its chenopod pollen comes from more than 30 genera of plants, including four-wing saltbush, pigweed and Russian thistle.5
Answered from the values on this page.
Very little. None of the plants Google models is above 0 in Albuquerque today.
No. It’s Google’s modeled pollen index, from 0 (none) to 5 (very high), calculated for the location of central Albuquerque. 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 Albuquerque, so each day starts with its own values, and again after Google’s daily model run, usually by about 8:30 am MT. 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.
