High Pollen in Greenville, NC

About pollen in Greenville

Weed pollen is the main story in Greenville today, running high and likely to cause noticeable symptoms for those who are sensitive. Grass is contributing at a low level, while tree pollen is barely present and shouldn't be a concern. For anyone prone to sneezing or congestion this time of year, the weeds are what you'll want to plan around. Looking ahead, expect this pattern to hold steady for the next several days, with weed pollen staying high before easing up toward the end of the stretch. Grass will remain in the low range throughout, tapering slightly by the final day, and tree pollen should stay minimal the whole time. This lines up with the season: early fall is prime time for ragweed and other weeds, while grass has largely wound down and trees such as oak and maple won't become a factor again until spring.

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).
