About pollen in Germantown
Weed pollen is the main presence in Germantown today, though levels remain low enough that most people should get through the day without much irritation. Tree pollen is essentially quiet at this point in the season, so overall conditions are mild and manageable for the vast majority of allergy sufferers. Looking ahead, this pattern is expected to hold fairly steady over the next several days, with weed pollen ticking up slightly by midweek before settling back down, and tree pollen staying at a bare minimum throughout. This is typical for mid-August, since the region's oaks, maples, and other spring bloomers finished releasing pollen months ago, while ragweed and other late-summer weeds are just beginning their gradual rise toward the more active fall stretch.
