About pollen in Rochester
Weed pollen is the main source of activity in Rochester today, sitting at a low level. Most people should get through the day without much irritation, though those who are especially sensitive to ragweed and similar late-season weeds may notice mild symptoms during extended time outdoors. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to hold steady over the next several days, with weed pollen staying in that same low range. This fits the seasonal pattern for late September, when ragweed is the dominant pollen source as summer transitions into fall. Tree pollen from species like oak and maple is long past its spring peak and isn't a factor right now, and grass pollen has similarly wound down from its early-summer high. Overall, this is a relatively calm stretch for allergy sufferers in the area.
