About pollen in Indianapolis

Weed pollen is the main contributor to today's mild pollen picture in Indianapolis, though it remains at a low level overall. Tree pollen is essentially a non-issue right now, sitting at a very low level. Most people should be able to go about their outdoor plans without much irritation, though those especially sensitive to weed pollen may notice mild symptoms. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to stay steady over the next several days, with weed pollen holding at a low level and tree pollen remaining minimal. This lines up with the typical seasonal pattern for mid-August, when trees like oak, maple, and hickory are long past their spring peak, grass pollen has largely wound down, and ragweed and other late-summer weeds begin to take over as the primary source of pollen through early fall.
