Moline pollen forecast - today, tomorrow and the week ahead

On 9 August 2026, overall pollen levels in Moline are moderate. Ambrosia is the main contributor to airborne pollen, while artemisia and grass remain at lower levels

On 10 August 2026, pollen conditions in Moline will be similar to today, with ambrosia at medium levels, artemisia at low levels, grass at low levels

According to the five-day outlook, ambrosia, artemisia, and grass pollen levels are expected to gradually decrease, suggesting improving conditions later in the week.

On 9 August 2026, Ambrosia is the dominant pollen source in Moline. artemisia and grass are also present but at lower levels. cypress are not currently active.

Trees along Duck Creek, such as willow and alder, are usually first to release pollen, typically peaking in late winter into March. By mid-spring, oak and other hardwoods near Nahant Marsh take over, driving the year's heaviest tree pollen stretch across April and May. The stretch between the Mississippi River and Loud Thunder Forest Preserve typically mirrors this timing fairly closely.

The Moline pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Moline, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
