High Pollen in Garland, TX

About pollen in Garland

Pollen levels in Garland are very high today, with weeds leading the way and tree and grass pollen close behind at high levels. This is a combination likely to cause noticeable symptoms for most allergy sufferers, and those who are especially sensitive may want to limit time outdoors or take precautions when heading out. Looking ahead, conditions should ease somewhat over the next couple of days before dropping sharply, with a lull expected midweek. After that, weed and grass pollen are likely to creep back up, while tree pollen should stay fairly low. This pattern fits the season: late September in North Texas typically means ragweed and other weeds are at their peak, grasses are winding down but still active, and trees such as cedar and elm remain largely dormant until later in the fall and winter.

What to do today

• 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).
