Low Pollen in Cleveland, OH

About pollen in Cleveland

Weed pollen edges out tree pollen as the main contributor to Cleveland's air today, though overall levels remain low. Most people should get through the day without much irritation, and those with sensitivities may notice only mild effects. Tree pollen is nearly absent at this point in the season, so it shouldn't factor into how you feel outdoors. Looking ahead, tree pollen will stay minimal through the next several days, which is typical for August since the oaks, maples, and birches that dominate Cleveland's spring season have long finished releasing pollen. Weed pollen is expected to hold steady before ticking up later in the forecast, a normal shift as we move deeper into ragweed season. If you're sensitive to weeds, it may be worth paying a bit more attention toward the end of the week.
