About pollen in Columbia
Pollen levels in Columbia are quiet today, with both tree and weed sources registering very low. Grass is not showing any notable activity either at the moment, so most people should move through the day without much irritation from the air. Even those who tend to react strongly to pollen are unlikely to notice much of an effect under these conditions. Looking ahead, the next several days should bring more of the same, with tree and weed pollen staying low throughout the stretch. This lull fits the season well: the oaks, pines, and other trees common to the Midlands finished their heavy pollen production back in spring, and grass season has also largely wound down. As late summer moves toward fall, ragweed and other weed pollens typically start to climb, so it is worth keeping an eye on conditions as the calendar turns, even though there is no sign of that increase yet.
