About pollen in Champaign
Pollen levels around Champaign remain quiet today, with both tree and weed sources holding at very low levels. Anyone sensitive to airborne allergens should find conditions easy to manage, with little in the way of tree or weed pollen circulating to cause irritation. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to stay very low through the next several days, which fits the season since oaks, maples, and other regional trees finished releasing pollen back in spring. Weed pollen, on the other hand, is likely to inch upward, moving from very low toward a moderate level by the end of the five-day stretch. This gradual rise lines up with the typical late-summer pattern in central Illinois, as ragweed begins to become more active heading into early autumn. Those who react to ragweed may want to keep an eye on the coming days as levels build.
