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 Portland 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 11.9% of adults in the city of Portland have current asthma, according to the CDC’s PLACES estimate for 2023 (95% confidence interval: 10.7% to 13.2%). It is a statistical estimate from national survey data, not a count.
26 allergists enrolled in Medicare practice in the Portland area: 1.02 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 Portland area, or how every state and metro compares.

The geography, climate and plants behind each season here, with a source for every fact.
Near the meeting of the Willamette and Columbia rivers, Portland lies midway between the Coast Range to the west and the Cascades to the east.2 The city also sits at the northern end of the Willamette Valley, a rich and diverse farming region.2 Nearly 90 percent of its yearly rain falls between mid-October and mid-May, and only about 3 percent in July and August.2 At the airport, a typical year brings about 37 inches of precipitation and about 247 days between the last spring freeze and the first fall freeze.1
Maples lead the city’s street trees.3 In an inventory of about 100,000 street trees entered from 2010 to 2014, Portland Parks & Recreation found that 27% were maples, with Norway maple at 9% and red maple at 7%.3 Ash made up 5% of the trees counted.3
Grass and grass seed are among the area’s major crops.2 Oregon is the world’s major producer of cool-season forage and turf grass seed, and most of the acreage lies in the Willamette Valley.4
Answered from the values on this page.
Very little. None of the plants Google models is above 0 in Portland today.
No. It’s Google’s modeled pollen index, from 0 (none) to 5 (very high), calculated for the location of central Portland. 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 Portland, so each day starts with its own values, and again after Google’s daily model run, usually by about 7:30 am PT. Each section shows when its values were retrieved.
