Pollen in Lexington, KY

About pollen in Lexington

Mid-November in Lexington tends to be a quiet stretch for pollen, and today fits that pattern. The main allergy triggers of the growing season, like ragweed and other late-summer weeds, have largely wound down after recent frosts, and the trees and grasses that cause trouble in spring and early summer are dormant. For most people sensitive to seasonal allergies, this should be a comfortable day with little to contend with outdoors. Looking ahead, conditions are likely to remain calm through the next several days, since cooler temperatures keep most plants inactive this time of year. Any lingering irritation now is more likely tied to mold spores from damp fallen leaves than to classic pollen sources. The next real shift in pollen activity will come with spring, when area trees such as oak, maple, and elm begin releasing pollen, followed by grasses in late spring and early summer, and eventually ragweed again as fall approaches.
