Very Low Pollen in Overland Park, KS

About pollen in Overland Park

Pollen levels in Overland Park are quiet today. Grass is the only type registering any activity, and even that is very low, so most people should be able to spend time outdoors without much irritation. Tree pollen is absent entirely, which is typical for this point in the summer. Looking ahead, grass pollen is expected to hold steady at a low level over the next several days, with no significant change in sight. Tree pollen from species like maple, pine, ash, oak, and pyrus has largely finished its seasonal run, having peaked back in spring, and grasses are now past their late-spring surge and settling into a milder summer pattern. Overall, conditions look calm for the near term, well ahead of the ragweed season that typically picks up later in the summer and into fall.
