About pollen in Portsmouth
Grass pollen is the main story in Portsmouth today, and it's holding at a low level. Most people should get through the day without much irritation, though those who are especially sensitive to grass might notice mild symptoms, particularly during outdoor activity in the afternoon. Looking ahead, grass pollen is expected to stay low through the next several days, dipping even further midweek before ticking back up slightly by the weekend. This tracks with the season, as area grasses common to the Tidewater region continue to release pollen through midsummer. Tree pollen from species like oak and pine has largely wound down for the year, and ragweed season remains a couple of months off, so grass will likely remain the main factor to watch for now.
