Beyond today’s pollen
What this forecast doesn’t measure, and when to get help.
No mold level
Google’s index covers tree, grass and weed pollen only, so there is no mold level for Midland 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.
No indoor allergens
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 9.7% of adults in the city of Midland have current asthma, according to the CDC’s PLACES estimate for 2023 (95% confidence interval: 8.6% to 11.0%). It is a statistical estimate from national survey data, not a count.

Midland’s pollen seasons
The geography, climate and plants behind each season here, with a source for every fact.
Buffalo grass dominates the native shortgrass prairie of the High Plains.2 The National Weather Service office in Midland places part or all of Midland County in the southern High Plains, a notably flat area also known as the Cap Rock or Llano Estacado.3 The plains stand 3,000 to 4,500 feet above sea level and receive 15 to 22 inches of rain in an average year.2 The Midland–Odessa airport averages about 14 inches of precipitation, with a freeze-free season of about 239 days.1
Although the region was historically a grassland, mesquite and yucca have invaded parts of it, and shinnery oak and sand sage are common invaders on sandy lands.2 Juniper has spread from the breaks onto the plains in some areas.2
The Weather Service describes a flat, treeless landscape that was originally grassland and is now used mainly for farming and ranching.3 Much of the farming on the Texas and New Mexico High Plains is cotton, planted in early spring, the windiest time of year.3
