High Pollen in Plantation, FL

About pollen in Plantation

Weed pollen is the main concern in Plantation today, running high enough to cause noticeable symptoms for those who are sensitive. Grass pollen adds to the mix at a moderate level, so combined exposure could make for a scratchy or congested day for allergy sufferers. Tree pollen, by contrast, is barely a factor right now. Looking ahead, this pattern is expected to hold steady over the next several days, with weed pollen remaining high, grass staying moderate, and tree pollen continuing to be minimal. This lines up with the typical seasonal rhythm for late September, when ragweed and other weeds dominate the pollen picture in South Florida while oak, pine, and other regional trees stay largely dormant until their spring bloom. Anyone sensitive to weeds or grasses should expect these conditions to linger through the week.
