High Pollen in High Point, NC

About pollen in High Point

Weed pollen is driving the day in High Point, with levels running high enough to bother those who deal with seasonal sensitivities. Grass pollen is present but only at a low level, and tree pollen is barely registering right now. If you tend to react to ragweed, this is the pollen type most likely to cause symptoms today. Looking ahead, that pattern should hold steady through most of the coming week, with weed pollen staying elevated before easing slightly toward the end of the stretch. Grass pollen is expected to remain mild, tapering a bit further out, while tree pollen should stay quiet throughout. This lines up with the season: early fall in the Piedmont is typically ragweed country, as oaks, maples, and other regional trees have long finished their spring pollen release and grasses wind down for the year.

• When driving the car, close your windows and turn the air conditioning system to recirculation mode.
