High Pollen in Denton, TX

About pollen in Denton

Tree pollen is the main story in Denton today, running high and likely to cause noticeable symptoms for those who are sensitive. Grass and weed pollen are both at moderate levels, adding to the overall load, so anyone prone to seasonal allergies may feel the effects more than usual, particularly outdoors during the day. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to ease noticeably over the next couple of days, with tree, grass, and weed pollen all dropping toward low levels by midweek. This early fall pattern fits the season, as late-blooming trees such as cedar elm and other regional varieties can still release pollen even as the more intense spring tree season is long past, while lingering weed pollen, including ragweed, remains typical for this time of year before it too tapers off with cooler weather.

• When driving the car, close your windows and turn the air conditioning system to recirculation mode.
