High Pollen in Pompano Beach, FL

About pollen in Pompano Beach

Weed pollen is the main driver of today's conditions in Pompano Beach, running high and likely to be noticeable for anyone sensitive to it. Grass pollen adds to the mix at a moderate level, so those prone to reactions may feel some effects there as well. Tree pollen, by contrast, is barely a factor right now and shouldn't cause much concern. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to ease slightly over the next several days but should remain in a range that's still noticeable, while grass pollen is projected to settle into a lighter, more moderate pattern. Tree pollen should stay quiet throughout, consistent with this time of year, since local trees such as oak and pine typically release most of their pollen in spring rather than fall. The current pattern fits the season well, as late September in South Florida tends to favor weeds like ragweed as the more dominant source of pollen.
