About pollen in Elgin
Grass is the main driver in Elgin today, sitting at a low level on the Universal Pollen Index, while tree pollen remains very low. Grass counts should hold steady at this low reading for the next few days before easing back further toward the end of the forecast window. This fits the season, as grass pollen typically dominates through late spring and into early summer, well after the springtime peak from trees like oak, birch, and maple has faded. Tree pollen is expected to stay very low across the entire five-day outlook. Weed pollen, often a late-summer concern from ragweed, is not reported in the current data.
