High Pollen in East Hampton, VA

About pollen in East Hampton

Weed pollen is the main concern in East Hampton today, running high and likely noticeable for anyone who deals with seasonal sensitivities. Tree and grass pollen, by contrast, are quiet and shouldn't cause much trouble. If you tend to react to ragweed, this is the pollen type to plan around today. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to remain high over the next couple of days before easing slightly toward the end of the five-day stretch, though it will still linger at a moderate level. Tree and grass pollen should stay low and unremarkable throughout the period. This pattern fits the season well: early fall is peak time for ragweed and other late-season weeds, while trees such as oak, maple, and birch are well past their spring pollen surge and grasses have largely wound down for the year.

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).
