About pollen in Clifton
Weed pollen is the main story in Clifton today, sitting at a moderate level. This is the kind of reading that sensitive individuals will likely notice, with symptoms such as sneezing or itchy eyes possible during time spent outdoors, though it should stay manageable for most people. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hover in the low-to-moderate range over the next several days, easing slightly at times before ticking back up. This lines up with the season, as ragweed and other late-blooming weeds are typically most active through early fall before tapering off with cooler weather. Tree pollen from species like oak and maple is not a concern right now, since those trees release their pollen in spring rather than autumn.
