Very High Pollen in Evansville, IN

About pollen in Evansville

Weed pollen is the clear driver of today's conditions in Evansville, reaching a very high level that is likely to affect even those with mild sensitivities. Tree and grass pollen, by contrast, are both very low and should not cause much concern. For anyone prone to seasonal allergies, today calls for extra caution, particularly around midday and afternoon hours when pollen tends to circulate most. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to remain very high through the next couple of days before easing slightly, though it will likely climb back to a noticeable level by the end of the forecast period. Tree and grass pollen should stay quiet throughout, consistent with the season. This pattern fits typical early fall conditions in the region, when ragweed dominates the pollen picture while oak, maple, and other common local trees remain dormant until spring.
