High Pollen in Pembroke Pines, FL

About pollen in Pembroke Pines

Weed pollen is driving the count today and sits at a high level, so it is likely to be the main source of irritation for anyone sensitive to it. Grass is also active at a moderate level and could add to the discomfort, while tree pollen remains quite low and should barely register for most people. Over the next several days, weed pollen is expected to climb even further, moving into the very high range by midweek, so those affected by ragweed and similar weeds should prepare for a more noticeable stretch ahead. Grass is expected to hold steady at a moderate level, continuing to contribute some background irritation. Tree pollen should stay low throughout the period, which fits the season, since local trees such as oak, pine, and maple are well past their spring peak. This pattern is typical for early fall in South Florida, when weeds become the dominant allergy trigger as the warm, humid season winds down.

• When driving the car, close your windows and turn the air conditioning system to recirculation mode.
