Beyond today’s pollen

An estimated 10.8% of adults in the city of Virginia Beach have current asthma, according to the CDC’s PLACES estimate for 2023 (95% confidence interval: 9.6% to 12.0%). It is a statistical estimate from national survey data, not a count.

Virginia Beach’s pollen seasons
The geography, climate and plants behind each season here, with a source for every fact.
Live oak, a tree of the Southeast’s lower Coastal Plain, ranges from southeastern Virginia southward.2 It usually grows on sandy soils of low coastal areas, and it flowers every spring from March through May.2 In First Landing State Park, live oak forest grows on the steep slope of White Hill above Broad Bay, according to the state’s Natural Heritage program.3 Loblolly pine woodland with sand heather and scrubby bluejack oak grows in the park as well.4
Trees cover about 36 percent of the city, according to Virginia Beach’s urban tree canopy plan.6 Among its major watersheds, canopy ranges from 24 percent at the oceanfront to 46 percent at Rudee Inlet.6
Winters at Oceana Naval Air Station average about 43 °F, and a typical year there has about 230 days between the last spring freeze and the first fall freeze.1 Virginia Cooperative Extension calls the Coastal Plain likely the warmest zone of Virginia.5 Tall fescue and tall fescue–Kentucky bluegrass mixtures are its best-adapted cool-season grasses, and all four major warm-season grasses, including bermudagrass, are used there.5 One of them, St. Augustinegrass, is adapted primarily to southeast Virginia, where the ocean moderates the climate.5
