Pollen in Knoxville, TN

About pollen in Knoxville

Pollen activity in Knoxville is quiet today, with tree pollen reading essentially absent. Anyone who deals with seasonal allergies should get a comfortable break, as there is little to nothing in the air to cause irritation right now. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to remain calm over the next few days, with tree pollen staying at the same low level. This fits the season well, since the trees that typically drive allergy symptoms in the area, including elm, oak, maple, zelkova, and carpinus, are dormant this time of year and won't become active again until their spring flowering period. For now, those sensitive to tree pollen can expect continued relief.
