Very Low Pollen in Atlanta, GA

About pollen in Atlanta

Pollen levels around Atlanta are quiet today, with both tree and grass sources registering very low. If you deal with seasonal allergies, this is the kind of day where symptoms should be minimal to nonexistent, and most people won't notice any effect at all. Looking ahead, grass pollen is expected to hold steady at these low levels through the next several days, so little change is anticipated in the near term. This lull fits with the season: the heavy tree pollen from oak, birch, and other local varieties like Nyssa, Ilex, and Halesia is well behind us for the year, and grass pollen, while still lingering into midsummer, is currently quite mild. It's a good stretch for those sensitive to airborne allergens, with no significant pollen surges on the immediate horizon.
