About pollen in Germantown

Grass pollen is the only type registering in Germantown today, and it remains at a very low level. Most people should notice little to no effect, even those who normally react to grass. Overall, it is a quiet day for outdoor allergens across the area. Looking ahead, grass pollen is expected to stay just as low over the next couple of days, so no significant change is on the horizon in the near term. This lines up with the season, since the heavier grass pollen typically associated with late spring and early summer has largely wound down by midsummer. Tree pollen from area species like oak, maple, and sycamore also finished its peak months ago, so tree exposure should be minimal right now. As late summer approaches, keep in mind that ragweed and other weed pollens tend to pick up, so conditions may shift again in the coming weeks.
