About pollen in Charlotte
Weed pollen is the main contributor to Charlotte's air today, though it remains at a low level overall. Tree pollen is barely present, so most people should notice little to nothing in the way of symptoms. Anyone particularly sensitive to weeds may feel a mild effect, but for most residents today counts as a comfortable day outdoors. Looking ahead, the pattern should hold steady through the next several days, with weed pollen staying at a similarly low level and tree pollen continuing to be nearly absent. This lines up with the season: mid-August in the Charlotte area falls after the spring tree bloom from oaks, maples, and pines, and past the late-spring grass surge, putting us in the early stretch of the ragweed and weed pollen season that typically builds through late summer and into fall. For now, conditions remain mild and manageable.
