High Pollen in Miami Gardens, FL

About pollen in Miami Gardens

Weed pollen is the main concern in Miami Gardens today, running high and likely noticeable for anyone with sensitivities. Grass pollen is also active at a moderate level, which can add to the irritation for those prone to seasonal reactions. Tree pollen, by contrast, is barely present and shouldn't cause much trouble. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to stay high through the next several days, consistent with the late-summer-into-fall pattern when ragweed and similar weeds tend to dominate in South Florida. Grass pollen should ease slightly before ticking back up toward the end of the stretch, so it's worth keeping in mind if you're sensitive. Tree pollen will remain minimal, which fits the season, since local trees such as oak and pine typically release their heaviest pollen in spring rather than the fall.

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