Very Low Pollen in Arlington, VA

About pollen in Arlington

Pollen levels around Arlington remain quiet today. Tree pollen is essentially absent, and grass pollen is running very low, which means most people should be able to go about their day without much irritation. Even those with sensitivities to grass are unlikely to notice much of an effect under these conditions. Looking ahead, the next several days should bring more of the same, with grass staying at a low level and tree pollen continuing to sit at zero. This fits the season, as trees like oak, maple, and prunus have already finished their spring release, and the mild grass presence reflects the tail end of early-summer grass season. For now, conditions look calm, with no signs of a notable increase on the horizon.
