High Pollen in Mobile, AL

About pollen in Mobile

Weed pollen is the main concern in Mobile today, running high enough to bother those who deal with seasonal allergies, and it's likely to be the most noticeable factor if you spend time outdoors. Grass pollen is also active at a moderate level, adding to the overall load, while tree pollen remains minimal and shouldn't be a significant factor right now. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to stay high over the next couple of days before gradually easing later in the forecast window, and grass should hold at a similar moderate level before tapering slightly as well. This pattern fits the season, as late September in the Gulf Coast region typically means ragweed and other weeds are at their peak, while oak, pine, and other common area trees remain quiet until their spring release. Anyone sensitive to weeds may want to plan accordingly over the next few days.

What to do today

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