Staying informed about pollen levels is crucial for allergy sufferers, and Google Pixel Weather now offers a convenient solution. A recent update brings pollen tracking to Pixel devices across the US, providing timely information to help users manage their allergies. This feature, already available in several other countries, arrives just in time for allergy season.
Understanding the Pixel Weather Pollen Feature
The new Pollen section in Pixel Weather offers a clear and concise overview of pollen levels. Three color-coded rings represent Grass, Tree, and Weed pollen, each with a score from 0 to 4. These scores correspond to Low (green), Medium (yellow), High (orange), and Severe (red), providing an at-a-glance assessment of pollen severity. Tapping on each category reveals a detailed five-day forecast, starting with Grass pollen.
While the Pollen section appears as the last card in the app, users can reorder cards to prioritize the information they need most. This customization allows for easy access to pollen data, making it a more useful tool for allergy sufferers.
Pollen Tracking: A New Addition for US Pixel Users
The pollen tracking feature is a new addition for Pixel users in the US, bringing them in line with users in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Japan, where the feature has already been available.

To access this new feature, ensure you have the latest version of the Pixel Weather app installed (version 1.0.20250315.x or later). This update ensures you have access to the most recent features and improvements, including the pollen tracker.
Conclusion
The addition of pollen tracking to Google Pixel Weather is a valuable update for users in the US.
