About pollen in Albany

Pollen levels in Albany are low today across the board, with tree and weed sources both fairly quiet. Sensitive individuals may notice a mild effect, but for most people conditions should feel comfortable and easy to manage. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to stay low and steady over the next several days, which fits the season since local species like oak and maple finished releasing their pollen months ago. Weed pollen is likely to hold at a low level before edging up slightly later in the forecast window, a typical shift as ragweed begins its gradual rise heading into late summer and early fall. Overall, this is a calm stretch, though it is worth keeping an eye on weed levels as the season progresses.
