About pollen in Irving

Pollen levels are running high in Irving today, with both tree and weed pollen likely to cause noticeable symptoms for anyone with sensitivities. Grass pollen is also active, sitting at a moderate level that may add to the discomfort for more sensitive individuals. Those prone to allergies should expect a fairly irritating day, particularly if spending extended time outdoors. Looking ahead, this pattern is expected to hold steady over the next several days, with tree and weed pollen remaining high and grass staying moderate. Toward the end of the forecast period, tree pollen may ease slightly. This fits typical seasonal trends for early fall in North Texas, as ragweed and other weeds continue to peak while trees such as cedar and elm can still contribute pollen even outside their usual spring surge. Anyone sensitive to these types should plan for continued irritation through the week.

  • 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.
