Pollen in Elgin, IL

About pollen in Elgin

Mid-November in Elgin tends to be a quiet stretch for pollen, and today follows that pattern. With trees dormant, grasses finished for the year, and ragweed past its peak, most people should find the air fairly calm from an allergy standpoint. Any lingering irritation this time of year is more often tied to mold spores from damp leaves and yard debris than to pollen itself. Looking ahead, conditions should stay low through the next several days as the region settles into late autumn. The next real shift in pollen activity will not arrive until early spring, when trees such as oak, maple, and birch begin to release pollen as temperatures warm. Until then, residents with seasonal allergies can expect a reprieve, with outdoor air generally easier to tolerate heading into winter.
