About pollen in Lowell

Grass pollen is the main driver in Lowell today, sitting at a moderate level (3) and pushing the overall index to moderate as well. Tree pollen has dropped off to very low (1), which is typical now that the spring surge from species like oak, birch, and maple has wound down. Looking ahead, conditions hold steady through the five-day forecast, with grass staying at moderate and tree pollen remaining very low. This pattern fits the season, as grasses tend to peak in late spring and early summer. Weed pollen, including ragweed, generally isn't a factor until later in the summer, and no data is available for it at this time.
