About pollen in Portsmouth Heights

Weed pollen is the main contributor to the count in Portsmouth Heights today, though it remains at a low level overall. Tree pollen is close to negligible, so most people should notice little to nothing from that source. Combined, conditions are mild, and only those with particular sensitivity to weeds are likely to feel any effect. Looking ahead, this pattern should hold steady through the next several days, with tree pollen staying very low throughout and weed levels holding mostly low with a slight uptick in a couple of spots. This is typical for mid-August in the region, as oak, pine, and other spring-blooming trees have long since finished releasing pollen, while weeds such as ragweed are beginning their slow climb toward the more active fall season. For now, there is little reason to expect any significant change in how the air feels.
