Pollen in Richmond, VA

About pollen in Richmond

Mid-November in Richmond tends to be a quiet stretch for pollen, and today fits that pattern. With cooler temperatures settling in, the trees, grasses, and weeds that drive most allergy complaints have largely finished their active growing and releasing for the year, so most people should notice little to no irritation from pollen specifically at this point in the season. Looking ahead, this calm should continue through the next few days, as the region sits well past the peak windows for tree pollen in spring, grass pollen in late spring and early summer, and ragweed in late summer into early fall. Richmond's common trees, like oak, maple, and pine, are now dormant and won't begin releasing pollen again until temperatures rise in the spring. For now, anyone sensitive to allergens may find other factors, such as mold from damp leaf litter or indoor triggers, more noticeable than outdoor pollen.
