Low Pollen in Renton, WA

About pollen in Renton

Grass pollen is the main source of activity in Renton today, sitting at a low level. Most people should get through the day without much trouble, though those who are particularly sensitive to grass may notice mild symptoms, especially if spending extended time outdoors. Tree pollen is absent right now, so there is no meaningful contribution from that source at the moment. Looking ahead, grass pollen is expected to ease slightly and hold at a low level over the next several days, making for fairly comfortable conditions through the week. Tree pollen should stay quiet as well, which fits the season, since the main flowering period for local trees like oak, mountain ash, lilac, hornbeam, and serviceberry has already passed. With summer underway, grass remains the pollen type most worth keeping an eye on, while ragweed and other late-season weeds typically won't factor in until later in the year.
