Low Pollen in Lowell, MA

About pollen in Lowell

Today's pollen count in Lowell is low overall, with both tree and weed sources contributing modestly to the mix. Neither is likely to cause much trouble for most people, though those with heightened sensitivity may notice mild effects, particularly from weed pollen this time of year. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to stay low through the next several days, with a slight easing by midweek. This fits the seasonal pattern for mid-August, as spring tree pollen from oaks, maples, and birches is long past, and grass pollen has largely wound down. The main pollen to watch now and into the fall will be ragweed and other late-summer weeds, though for the moment their presence remains mild.
