High Pollen in Irving, TX

About pollen in Irving

Pollen levels in Irving are high today, with both trees and weeds contributing heavily to the count and grass adding to the overall load at a moderate level. Anyone sensitive to allergens is likely to notice symptoms today, particularly if you spend extended time outdoors. It's a good day to be mindful of peak pollen hours and to keep an eye on how your body responds. Looking ahead, conditions should ease noticeably over the next couple of days before dropping off substantially by midweek, with a slight uptick expected toward the end of the five-day outlook. This pattern fits the season well: with autumn underway, ragweed and other late-season weeds are typically the main drivers of high counts, while tree pollen this time of year is usually minimal outside of occasional contributions from cedar and other regional species that can stir early. Grass tends to be winding down as cooler weather sets in, so the overall trend should be one of gradual relief.

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