About pollen in Lexington
Weed pollen is the main contributor to today's mix in Lexington, though overall levels remain low. Tree pollen is nearly absent, so most people should get through the day without much irritation. Those with sensitivity to weeds may notice mild effects, but for most residents, today counts as an easy day to be outdoors. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to stay steady over the next several days, with tree pollen ticking up slightly toward the end of the period and weed levels holding at a low, consistent pace. This lines up with the seasonal pattern for mid-August, when oak, maple, and other spring-blooming trees are long dormant and ragweed is just beginning its gradual rise heading into fall. For now, the air remains relatively calm, making this a good stretch for anyone who tends to be sensitive later in the season.
