Local Mold Conditions
Taking the year as a whole, humidity averages around 75% and temperatures near 11°C, putting this area in the elevated range for mold favorability. Conditions here tend to run since humidity stays high enough for most of the year that keeping indoor ventilation and moisture under control matters more here than it would in a drier region.
Mold and mildew find the most favorable conditions here from April to June, when humidity averages around 73% and temperatures hover near 16°C. This period also brings around 250 mm of rain, which keeps surfaces damp and moisture slow to evaporate, stretching out the conditions mold needs to spread. December to February brings this area's lowest mold risk, as cooler and drier conditions slow growth considerably.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mold in Illinois
Why do I still have allergy symptoms after the pollen season?
Allergy symptoms after the main pollen season may be caused by mold spores. Outdoor mold levels can remain high into late summer and autumn, when pollen levels are already falling. Mold allergy can cause symptoms similar to pollen allergy, including sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes, coughing, and wheezing.
What are mold spores and why do they cause allergies?
Mold spores are tiny particles released by fungi into the air. When inhaled, they can trigger an allergic reaction in sensitive people. Common symptoms include sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy or watery eyes, coughing, and wheezing.
When are mold spore levels highest?
Outdoor mold spore levels often increase during warm and humid conditions, particularly when there is plenty of decaying vegetation. Levels can vary considerably with weather, season, vegetation, and location, and some types of mold are more common during particular times of the year, e.g. in the Fall.
How can I reduce my exposure to mold spores?
If you are sensitive to mold, check local mold spore levels and forecasts before spending long periods outdoors. On high-risk days, reducing time around dense vegetation, compost, fallen leaves, and other sources of decaying plant material may help limit exposure.
Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Mold
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
