About pollen in Palm Bay

Weed pollen is the main driver of discomfort in Palm Bay today, running high and likely noticeable for anyone with sensitivities. Tree and grass pollen are both light and should stay in the background for most people. Overall, this is a day where weeds set the tone, so those who react to ragweed and similar plants may want to take a bit more care than usual. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to ease noticeably tomorrow before climbing back into moderate territory for the following few days, so symptoms may ebb and flow rather than build steadily. Tree and grass levels should remain low to moderate throughout the stretch, with no sharp spikes expected. This pattern fits the season well: area oaks and pines are largely quiet this time of year, grasses are winding down, and ragweed and other late-season weeds are typically the dominant source of pollen through the fall months.

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.
