About pollen in Columbia
Pollen levels in Columbia are running low today, with tree and weed both quiet enough that most people should get through the day without much irritation. Sensitive individuals might notice a slight effect outdoors, but overall this is a mild day for allergies. Looking ahead, tree pollen should stay low through the next several days, which fits the season since the region's oaks, maples, and other trees finished their heavy pollen release back in spring. Weed pollen is expected to hold steady before ticking up toward the end of the forecast window, a normal pattern as late summer approaches and ragweed begins to stir. Anyone particularly sensitive to weed pollen may want to keep an eye on how conditions shift over the next few days.
