High Pollen in Miami Gardens, FL

About pollen in Miami Gardens

Weed pollen is the main driver of discomfort in Miami Gardens today, running high and likely to affect those with sensitivities fairly noticeably. Grass pollen is also active at a moderate level, adding to the overall load, while tree pollen remains quiet and should not be a concern for most people. Looking ahead, this pattern is expected to hold steady over the next several days, with weed pollen actually edging higher toward the end of the stretch. This fits the season, as fall is typically prime time for ragweed and other weeds in South Florida, while grasses continue to contribute in the background. Tree pollen, including from species like oak and pine that are more active in spring, should stay minimal through this period, so most of the irritation this week will come from weeds and grasses rather than trees.

• When driving the car, close your windows and turn the air conditioning system to recirculation mode.
