Very Low Pollen in Bloomington, MN

About pollen in Bloomington

Pollen levels across Bloomington remain quiet today. Tree pollen is absent entirely, and weeds are contributing only a very light presence in the air. For most people, today should pass without any noticeable irritation, even for those who tend to be sensitive to ragweed and other late-season weeds. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to tick upward over the next couple of days before settling into a more moderate range through the rest of the forecast period. This fits the typical pattern for early autumn in the Twin Cities, as ragweed and related weeds wind toward the tail end of their season. Tree pollen should stay quiet, since local varieties like oak, maple, juniper, celtis, and juglans have long finished their spring release and won't become active again until next year.
