Low Pollen in Akron, OH

About pollen in Akron

Pollen levels around Akron are low today, with both tree and weed sources holding steady at a mild level. Most people should get through the day without much irritation, though those especially sensitive to allergens may notice a slight effect. Grass pollen isn't showing any activity right now, so tree and weed sources are the ones worth keeping an eye on. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to stay fairly calm over the next few days, dipping slightly midweek before weed pollen ticks up a bit toward the end of the period. This lines up with the season, as mid-August marks the start of ragweed's gradual rise, which will likely continue strengthening into fall. Tree pollen, from sources like oak and maple, is well past its spring peak and should remain a minor factor for now.
