About pollen in Lafayette
Weed pollen is the main contributor to today's moderate conditions in Lafayette, while tree pollen remains very low and largely a non-issue. Those sensitive to ragweed and similar late-season weeds may notice mild symptoms outdoors, though most people should get through the day without much trouble. Over the next few days, weed pollen is expected to ease slightly before ticking back up toward the end of the stretch, so sensitive individuals may want to keep an eye on afternoons later in the week. Tree pollen should stay quiet throughout, which is typical for mid-November, well outside the spring season when oak, pine, and other regional trees release their heaviest pollen. This time of year, lingering weed activity is the more common culprit for outdoor allergy symptoms in the area.
