Pollen in Lowell, MA

About pollen in Lowell

Mid-October typically marks a quiet stretch in the pollen calendar for Lowell, and today fits that pattern. Ragweed, the main source of outdoor allergy trouble in late summer and early fall, is winding down as plants finish their growing cycle, and both tree and grass pollen are dormant this time of year. Most people should find outdoor air fairly easy to tolerate right now. Looking ahead, conditions are likely to stay calm over the next few days as the region settles into late autumn. Any lingering irritation outdoors is more likely tied to falling leaves and mold from decaying plant matter than to traditional pollen sources. The next real uptick in tree pollen will not arrive until spring, when species like oak, maple, and birch begin to release pollen, so this is a good time for allergy sufferers to get a bit of a break.
