High Pollen in Johns Creek, GA

About pollen in Johns Creek

Weed pollen is the main story in Johns Creek today, running high and likely noticeable for anyone with sensitivities. Tree and grass pollen, by contrast, are both very low and shouldn't cause much concern. If you're prone to seasonal reactions, the weed pollen is the one to plan around as you go through your day. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to stay high for the next couple of days before easing noticeably by the end of the forecast period, while tree and grass levels should remain quiet throughout. This pattern fits the season: late September is prime time for ragweed and other weeds to peak, while the oaks, maples, and other trees common to the area are well past their spring pollen surge and grasses have largely wound down as well.

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