Moderate Pollen in Oklahoma City, OK

About pollen in Oklahoma City

Grass pollen is the main driver in Oklahoma City today, registering Moderate on the index, while overall levels also sit at Moderate. Tree pollen has dropped to Very Low, so the oak, maple, elm, birch, and Cercis that dominate spring are now a minor factor. The forecast keeps grass steady at Moderate over the next four days before easing slightly to Low on the fifth, suggesting little change in the immediate term. This pattern fits late June, when grass tends to be the leading source of pollen and tree activity has largely wound down for the season. Weed pollen data isn't available today, though that category typically becomes more relevant later in summer and into fall.

What to do today

• It's important to shower and wash your hair after spending a lot of time outdoors.
• When spending time outside, use sunglasses and a cap to keep pollen out of your face and eyes.
• Wash clothes worn outdoors to remove any remnants of pollen grains.
• If possible, wear glasses instead of contact lenses.
• Did you hang any laundry outside? Now is a good time to hang clothes indoors or use a dryer if possible.
