Posted February 23, 2026 by kc-allergy-advocates

Daily pollen and mold count monitoring is underway for the 2026 spring season, providing critical data for local allergy sufferers.

 
Kansas City, MO – February 23, 2026 – Kansas City Allergy & Asthma Associates has begun reporting daily pollen and mold count data from its Overland Park, Kansas, monitoring station.

Additionally, reporting from Children’s Mercy Hospital (CMH) in Kansas City, Missouri, is expected to commence in the coming days as counts stabilize.

As temperatures fluctuate and spring trees begin their pollination cycles, this data provides a vital early warning for the community.

Early reporting is essential for the thousands of residents in the metro area who suffer from seasonal rhinitis. Local allergists recommend that patients begin their prescribed maintenance medications now to stay ahead of the peak spring bloom.

Thank you for your attention to this public health matter. Your support in sharing this data helps improve allergy management and quality of life across the Kansas City metro area.
