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 Akron 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 12.5% of adults in the city of Akron have current asthma, according to the CDC’s PLACES estimate for 2023 (95% confidence interval: 11.2% to 13.9%). It is a statistical estimate from national survey data, not a count.
13 allergists enrolled in Medicare practice in the Akron area: 1.85 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 Akron area, or how every state and metro compares.

The geography, climate and plants behind each season here, with a source for every fact.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park runs between two cities, with Akron the urban center at its southern end and Cleveland at its northern end.2 In the park, the oak-hickory association is the most widespread type of forest.3 Other forest associations there include maple-oak, oak-beech-maple and maple-sycamore.3 Snowfall at the Akron-Canton airport averages about 47 inches a year, and a typical year allows about 184 days between the last spring freeze and the first fall freeze.1
Reed canarygrass, a grass common in Ohio, grows in all but a few of the state’s western counties.4 It flowers between late May and August.4 Curly dock, a weed whose pollen is spread by wind, occurs throughout Ohio and surrounding states.5 Its flowers appear in May and can continue into October and November.5
Ragweed usually starts blooming in August, in late summer, and continues into November.6 September is its highest pollen month.6 Ohio has two ragweed species, common and giant.6
Answered from the values on this page.
Very little. None of the plants Google models is above 0 in Akron today.
No. It’s Google’s modeled pollen index, from 0 (none) to 5 (very high), calculated for the location of central Akron. 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 Akron, so each day starts with its own values, and again after Google’s daily model run, usually by about 10:30 am ET. 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.
