About pollen in Cicero

Pollen levels around Cicero are quiet today, with both tree and weed sources sitting at the low end of the scale. Most people should be able to spend time outdoors without much irritation, and even those with sensitivities are unlikely to notice much of an effect. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to stay mild through the next several days, with only a slight uptick in weed pollen by midweek. This lines up with the season — late summer is when ragweed and other weeds typically become more active in the Chicago area, while tree pollen from species like oak and maple has largely wound down for the year. Overall, it remains a comparatively easy stretch for allergy sufferers, though it is worth keeping an eye on weed levels as the season progresses.
