High Pollen in Murfreesboro, TN

About pollen in Murfreesboro

Weed pollen is the dominant force in Murfreesboro today, reaching a high level that is likely to cause noticeable symptoms for those who are sensitive. Anyone prone to seasonal allergies should expect a fairly uncomfortable day, especially during outdoor activities in the morning and afternoon when pollen tends to circulate most freely. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at this high level through the next several days, so little relief is in sight for now. This lines up with the season, as ragweed and related weeds typically peak in the fall across Middle Tennessee. Tree pollen, which usually comes from oaks, maples, and cedars in this region, is not a concern at this time of year, and grass pollen remains well past its late spring and early summer peak.

What to do today

• When driving the car, close your windows and turn the air conditioning system to recirculation mode.
• Keep your windows closed and turn on your air purifier or air conditioning.
• Consider staying indoors during the peak pollen hours (morning and early afternoon).
