High Pollen in Dallas, TX

About pollen in Dallas

Weed pollen is the main concern in Dallas today, running high enough to cause noticeable symptoms for those who are sensitive. Tree and grass pollen are both at moderate levels, adding to the overall load, so anyone prone to allergies may feel some effects across the board. Looking ahead, relief appears to be on the way. Weed, grass, and tree pollen are all expected to ease considerably tomorrow and drop to essentially nothing by midweek, before ticking back up slightly toward the end of the five-day period. This pattern fits the season well, as late September marks the tail end of ragweed's peak run in North Texas, while oak, elm, and other common area trees remain largely dormant until their usual late-winter and spring release.

What to do today

• Avoid mowing the lawn and raking leaves.
• When driving the car, close your windows and turn the air conditioning system to recirculation mode.
• Keep your windows closed and turn on your air purifier or air conditioning.
• Consider staying indoors during the peak pollen hours (morning and early afternoon).
