About pollen in Abilene

Weed pollen is the only category active in Abilene today, and it remains at a low level. Most people should get through the day without much irritation, though those who are especially sensitive to weed pollen may notice mild effects, particularly during the warmer afternoon hours when pollen tends to circulate more. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at this same low level through the next several days, with no significant swings in sight. This fits the seasonal pattern for mid-August, as ragweed and other late-summer weeds are just beginning their gradual climb toward the more active stretch typically seen in early fall. Tree pollen from species common to the area, such as oak, elm, and mesquite, is not a factor this time of year, since those trees release their pollen mainly in spring. For now, conditions remain mild and manageable across the region.
