High Pollen in Edmond, OK

About pollen in Edmond

Weed pollen is the main concern in Edmond 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 but playing a secondary role. Altogether, this adds up to a fairly active day for allergy sufferers, with weeds driving most of the irritation. Over the next several days, weed pollen should ease gradually from high to more moderate levels, while grass pollen holds fairly steady in the moderate range and tree pollen tapers off further. This pattern fits the season well: early fall in Oklahoma is typically dominated by ragweed and other late-season weeds, while oak, elm, and other regional trees are largely dormant this time of year, and grasses are winding down after their summer activity. Expect weeds to remain the pollen type to watch as the season progresses.

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