Low Pollen in Oklahoma City, OK

About pollen in Oklahoma City

Weed pollen is the main contributor to today's mild pollen picture in Oklahoma City, though it remains at a low level that most people won't notice. Tree pollen is essentially quiet this time of year, so if you do experience any irritation, weeds are the more likely culprit. Overall, conditions are comfortable for spending time outdoors. Looking ahead, tree pollen should stay very low through the next several days, which is typical for mid-August, well outside the spring window when oak, maple, elm, cercis, and taxodium trees release their pollen. Weed pollen, on the other hand, is expected to tick up slightly toward the end of the forecast period, reflecting the seasonal shift as late-summer weeds like ragweed begin to stir. It's a good time to enjoy the outdoors, with a mild uptick in weed-related sensitivity possible by the weekend.
