About pollen in Hartford

Grass pollen is the main player in Hartford today, sitting at a Low level (2) and accounting for most of the overall Low reading. Tree pollen has dropped off to Very Low (1), in line with the season, as the springtime activity from regional species like oak, birch, and maple has largely wound down. Looking ahead, grass is expected to tick up slightly to a steady moderate level over the next several days, while tree pollen should hold flat at Very Low. That trend fits late June, when grasses are the dominant source and trees are quiet. No weed pollen data is available right now, though ragweed typically becomes a factor later in summer and into fall.
