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 York 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.
2 allergists enrolled in Medicare practice in the York area: 0.42 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 York area, or how every state and metro compares.

The geography, climate and plants behind each season here, with a source for every fact.
Along the Susquehanna River in York and Lancaster counties, miles of forested rocky cliffs and the rolling hills of the high Piedmont frame the river lands.2 Summers at the York airport average about 72 °F.1 A typical year there brings about 174 days between the last spring freeze and the first fall freeze, and about 42 inches of precipitation.1
Across Pennsylvania, red maple is the most common tree species.3 It is one of the most widely distributed trees in eastern North America and one of the first to flower in early spring.4 Orchardgrass, a perennial cool-season grass, can survive and be highly productive throughout the state.5 Depending on the variety, its seed heads appear from early May to early June.5
Ragweed grows best in disturbed soils, and the state’s Department of Environmental Protection maps each county’s share of farmland to show where it may be most concentrated.6 The department notes that dry, windy, sunny weather favors pollen dispersal, while rain scrubs pollen from the air.6 Statewide, ragweed pollen generally peaks in the last week of August and the first week of September.6
Answered from the values on this page.
Very little. None of the plants Google models is above 0 in York today.
No. It’s Google’s modeled pollen index, from 0 (none) to 5 (very high), calculated for the location of central York. 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 York, 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.
