High Pollen in Lakeland, FL

About pollen in Lakeland

Weed pollen is the main concern in Lakeland today, running high enough that sensitive individuals will likely notice symptoms outdoors. Grass pollen is moderate and could add to the irritation for some, while tree pollen remains low and is unlikely to cause much trouble. Looking ahead, this pattern should hold steady over the next several days, with weed pollen easing slightly before climbing back to high levels later in the stretch. Grass is expected to stay in the moderate range throughout, and tree pollen should continue to be a minor factor. This lines up with the season, as late September marks the height of ragweed and other weed pollen activity in the region, while oak, pine, and other common local trees are well past their spring peak and contributing little right now.

What to do today

• Avoid mowing the lawn and raking leaves.
• 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.
• Consider staying indoors during the peak pollen hours (morning and early afternoon).
