High Pollen in Largo, FL

About pollen in Largo

Weed pollen is the main driver of today's high overall pollen levels in Largo, and it is likely to be noticeable for those who are sensitive to it. Grass pollen adds to the mix at a moderate level, while tree pollen remains low and shouldn't cause much trouble right now. Over the next several days, weed pollen should ease slightly but stay elevated, while grass holds steady at a moderate level before gradually tapering off. Tree pollen is expected to stay low and dip further as the week progresses. This pattern fits the season: with fall underway, ragweed and other weeds are at their most active stage, grasses are winding down from their warmer-weather peak, and trees such as oak and pine are largely quiet until their more prominent pollen season returns in spring.

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