About pollen in Farmington Hills

Tree pollen is the main driver of today's conditions in Farmington Hills, running high enough that sensitive individuals will likely notice symptoms outdoors. Weed pollen is also present at a moderate level, adding to the overall load, so those who react to multiple pollen types may feel it more than usual today. Over the next few days, tree pollen should ease somewhat, dropping to a more moderate range by midweek before ticking back up slightly. Weed pollen, on the other hand, is expected to hold steady and then climb toward the end of the forecast period. This pattern fits the season: while spring is typically the peak for oak, maple, and birch pollen, late-summer tree activity can still linger, and rising weed counts point toward the start of ragweed season, which tends to intensify into early fall.

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).
