Cedar is considered high when it reaches at and over 500 gr/m3. The pollen levels have slowly been climbing the last several days.
Cedar pollen is expected to remain in the high count for at least the next week.
Cedar season typically starts in early December and lasts through mid-February. The peek of the cedar season is usually the first two weeks of January.
