About pollen in Fort Lauderdale
Weed pollen is the main contributor to today's conditions in Fort Lauderdale, sitting at a moderate level that may be noticeable if you tend to react to ragweed or similar plants. Tree and grass pollen are both very low right now, so neither should cause much trouble. Overall, it's a fairly mild day for allergy sufferers, with weeds being the one factor worth keeping in mind if you're sensitive. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to stay at a similar moderate level for the next couple of days before easing slightly toward the low end later in the week. Tree and grass pollen should remain very low throughout the five-day stretch, which fits the season — South Florida's oaks and other flowering trees typically won't pick up again until closer to spring, and grass pollen stays quiet until late spring or summer. Late fall in this region tends to favor weeds like ragweed, so that's the pollen type most likely to linger as a mild presence in the days ahead.
