About pollen in Columbia
Pollen levels in Columbia are on the low side today, with both tree and weed sources contributing about equally. Most people should get through the day without much irritation, though those who are especially sensitive may notice mild symptoms, particularly in the morning or on breezier afternoons. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to ease slightly over the next couple of days before ticking back up toward the end of the five-day stretch, though still within a low range overall. This lull fits the season, since the heavy tree pollen from oak, maple, and elm is long past, and the weed pollen we're seeing now is an early hint of ragweed season, which typically builds through late summer and into fall.
