Pollen in Joliet, IL

About pollen in Joliet

Mid-November in Joliet typically marks the quiet stretch of the pollen calendar, and today fits that pattern. Tree and grass pollen have long since wrapped up for the year, and ragweed, the last holdout of the fall weed season, is fading as cooler, often frosty weather sets in. Most allergy sufferers should find the air largely calm today, with little airborne pollen to cause irritation. Looking ahead, expect this lull to continue through the coming days, since the Chicago area's trees, such as oak, maple, and elm, remain fully dormant until spring warmth triggers their bloom, often starting in March or April. Grass pollen will stay absent until late spring, and ragweed will not return until late summer. For now, outdoor allergy triggers are minimal, though other seasonal irritants like mold spores from damp fallen leaves can still affect sensitive individuals
