Peoria Riverfront Museum's pollen season lines up with the rest of Peoria, starting with maple and elm in March then oak follows, running through April. Grass follows, peaking through May and June, while a late-summer ragweed peak runs into September. The continental Midwest climate produces a well-defined spring tree peak followed by a strong late-summer ragweed season, which shapes conditions at Peoria Riverfront Museum much as it does elsewhere in Peoria.

The Peoria 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 Peoria, 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.
