High Pollen in Duluth, MN

About pollen in Duluth

Weed pollen is the main driver of today's conditions in Duluth, and levels are high enough to be noticeable for anyone with sensitivities. This is the pollen type to plan around if you tend to react to ragweed and similar plants, as symptoms could be more pronounced than usual during outdoor activities. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to ease briefly tomorrow before climbing back to high levels for the rest of the five-day stretch. This pattern fits the season well, as August marks the heart of ragweed activity across the region, with counts typically staying elevated into early fall. Tree pollen from species like birch and oak, which dominate the local landscape earlier in the year, has long since wound down, leaving weeds as the primary concern for allergy sufferers right now.

• 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).
