Pollen in Arlington, VA

About pollen in Arlington

Pollen is essentially quiet across Arlington today, with tree pollen sitting at none. Anyone who typically reacts to oak, maple, or other local trees should get a break, as there is little to no pollen in the air to cause irritation. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to stay calm, with tree pollen holding at none through the next stretch of days. This tracks with the season, as mid-November falls well outside the active period for trees like Koelreuteria, Prunus, Maple, and Malus, which typically release pollen in spring. With grass season long past and ragweed winding down, allergy sufferers in the area should find this a comfortably low-pollen stretch.
