About Cedar Fever in Austin
Cedar fever season in Austin runs from December through February, when mountain cedar (Ashe juniper) trees release massive amounts of pollen into the air. Austin sits directly downwind of the Texas Hill Country — home to one of the densest concentrations of Ashe juniper in the world.
Cold fronts are the primary trigger for heavy pollen releases. When a front passes through Central Texas, male cedar trees burst open and release clouds of pollen that can travel hundreds of miles on north winds. Counts regularly exceed 5,000 grains/m³ during peak events.
This tracker aggregates data from local monitoring stations across the Austin metro area — the same data used by allergists and weather services. Updated daily, so you can check before heading outdoors.
