About pollen in Midland

Weed pollen is the only type active in Midland today, and it remains at a low level. Most people should get through the day without much irritation, though those who are especially sensitive to weed pollen may notice mild symptoms during extended time outdoors. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at this same low level over the next several days, so no significant changes are anticipated through the week. This tracks with the calendar, as mid-August sits at the edge of ragweed and other weed pollen season across West Texas, with levels typically building further as late summer moves into fall. Tree pollen from local species such as mesquite, elm, and juniper is not a concern this time of year, since those trees release their pollen mainly in spring.
