Pollen in Lowell, MA

About pollen in Lowell

Mid-November in Lowell typically brings a quiet stretch for pollen, and today fits that pattern. With a hard frost already common by now, the plants that drive most allergy symptoms have largely finished their active growing and releasing season, so most people should find the air fairly calm in terms of airborne pollen. Looking ahead, expect this lull to continue through the next few days, as the region settles into late fall conditions. Trees such as oak, maple, and birch released their pollen back in spring, grasses were most active in late spring and early summer, and ragweed—the big fall allergen—peaked in late summer and is now winding down for the season. Overall, this time of year is more about fallen leaves and mold from decaying vegetation than pollen itself.
