High Pollen in Lawton, OK

About pollen in Lawton

Weed pollen is the main driver of discomfort in Lawton today, running high and likely to affect anyone with sensitivities to ragweed and similar plants. Tree and grass pollen are both at moderate levels, adding to the overall load but playing a secondary role. Combined, conditions add up to a high pollen day, so those prone to sneezing, itchy eyes, or congestion may notice symptoms more than usual. Looking ahead, weed pollen should stay high for the next couple of days before gradually easing toward midweek. Grass pollen is expected to hold steady at moderate levels before also tapering off, while tree pollen continues a slow decline from its current moderate reading. This pattern fits the season: with fall underway, ragweed and other late-season weeds are at their peak, while grass pollen is winding down from its earlier highs and trees—such as the region's cedar and elm—remain largely quiet until their more active periods later in the year.

What to do today

• 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).
