High Pollen in Canton, MI

About pollen in Canton

Tree pollen is running high in Canton today, and it stands out as the main source of irritation for anyone sensitive to it. Weed pollen is also present at a moderate level, adding to the overall load, so those prone to seasonal symptoms may notice more sneezing, itchy eyes, or congestion than usual. Over the next several days, tree pollen is expected to ease somewhat before climbing back toward today's high levels, while weed pollen should stay fairly steady in the moderate range. This pattern fits the season: with August underway, late-blooming trees can still contribute pollen even as attention turns toward ragweed, which typically becomes more prominent through late summer and into fall. It's a good stretch to keep an eye on daily conditions if you're affected by either tree or weed allergies.
