About pollen in Richmond

Grass pollen is the main player in Richmond today, sitting at a Low level on the Universal Pollen Index and accounting for the overall reading of 2. Tree and weed pollen aren't reporting data right now, so grass is what's measurable on the ground. The forecast holds steady through the next five days, with grass staying at Low across the board and no sharp swings expected. This tracks with the season: late spring into early summer is typically when grass pollen runs its course, while the tree pollen that dominates Richmond's spring—from oak, pine, and similar regional species—has largely wound down. Ragweed, the late-summer and fall driver, hasn't entered the picture yet.
