High Pollen in College Station, TX

About pollen in College Station

Tree pollen is the main driver of today's high overall count in College Station, and it's likely to be noticeable for anyone with sensitivities. Grass and weed pollen are both running at a moderate level, adding to the mix, so those prone to seasonal symptoms may feel some effects from more than one source today. Looking ahead, conditions should ease noticeably over the next couple of days before settling into a calmer, low-to-moderate pattern through the rest of the stretch. This burst of tree activity is a bit unusual for early fall, since tree pollen typically peaks in spring, but certain trees can still shed pollen this time of year in this region. Meanwhile, weed pollen — including ragweed, a common late-summer and fall culprit — remains at a moderate level and is worth keeping an eye on as the season progresses.
