High Pollen in Lehigh Acres, FL

About pollen in Lehigh Acres

Weed pollen is the main driver of today's conditions in Lehigh Acres, running high enough to cause noticeable symptoms for those who are sensitive. Grass pollen is at a moderate level and could add to the irritation, while tree pollen remains low and is unlikely to cause much trouble on its own. Overall, this is a day when weed-sensitive individuals should expect the most discomfort. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to ease slightly tomorrow before climbing back to high levels through the rest of the week, so symptoms may fluctuate day to day. Grass pollen should stay mostly low to moderate, and tree pollen will likely remain quiet, consistent with typical seasonal patterns since oak, pine, and other regional trees are well past their spring peak. This time of year in Florida, ragweed and other late-season weeds tend to dominate the pollen picture, so continued high weed counts are expected into the fall.
