About pollen in Columbia
Grass is the only pollen type registering in Columbia today, and it remains at a very low level. Most people, including those with grass sensitivities, should notice little to no irritation outdoors right now. It is a quiet day overall for allergy sufferers in the area. Looking ahead, the next several days show grass pollen holding steady at this same low level, so no significant change is expected through the week. This is a bit of a lull for the season, since grass pollen in the mid-Atlantic typically runs stronger earlier in the summer, and it tends to ease as the season progresses toward late summer, when ragweed usually becomes the main concern. Tree pollen from oaks, maples, and birches, which dominates in spring, is long past its peak for this year. For now, conditions favor comfortable time outdoors with minimal pollen exposure.
