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 Providence 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 12.4% of adults in the city of Providence have current asthma, according to the CDC’s PLACES estimate for 2023 (95% confidence interval: 11.2% to 13.6%). It is a statistical estimate from national survey data, not a count.
20 allergists enrolled in Medicare practice in the Providence area: 1.17 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 Providence area, or how every state and metro compares.

The geography, climate and plants behind each season here, with a source for every fact.
At the top of Narragansett Bay, Providence is part of the coastal lowland of Rhode Island’s Narragansett Basin.2 The city’s 2008 urban forest report describes a growing season that runs from the end of April to mid-October.2 At T. F. Green Airport, a typical year brings 199 days between the last spring freeze and the first fall freeze.1
Norway maple was the dominant species among the 24,999 street trees counted in the city’s 2006 inventory, at 18.8%.2 Green ash made up 8.6%, honeylocust 7.4% and London planetree 7.0%.2 By genus, maples made up 31.9% of the street trees.2 Norway maple’s share had fallen from 46.7% in 1988.2 The parks department’s tree list, revised in 2011, puts Norway maple among unauthorized trees, with the note “Invasive exotic; over-planted.”3
Answered from the values on this page.
Very little. None of the plants Google models is above 0 in Providence today.
No. It’s Google’s modeled pollen index, from 0 (none) to 5 (very high), calculated for the location of central Providence. 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 Providence, 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.
