Moderate Pollen in Denton, TX

About pollen in Denton

Weed pollen is the main driver of today's moderate conditions in Denton, with ragweed likely the main culprit this time of year. Those sensitive to weed pollen may notice some irritation, while tree and grass pollen remain low and should pose little trouble for most people. Over the next several days, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at a moderate level, so symptoms should stay fairly consistent rather than intensify. Tree pollen may tick up slightly later in the week, though it remains a minor factor overall — unsurprising given that oak, elm, and other regional trees are largely dormant this time of year. This pattern fits the season well: with grass pollen quiet and tree pollen months away from its spring peak, ragweed and other fall weeds are the ones shaping the pollen picture through autumn.
