About pollen in Salem
Grass is the only pollen type registering in Salem today, and it remains at a very low level. Most residents, including those with grass sensitivities, should notice little to no irritation under these conditions. It is a quiet day overall for anyone tracking seasonal allergies in the area. Looking ahead, grass pollen is expected to hold steady at this low level through the next few days, so no significant changes are anticipated in the near term. This is a bit later in the season than peak grass pollen, which typically clusters in late spring and early summer, so the calmer readings fit with where we are in the yearly cycle. Tree pollen from familiar Willamette Valley species like oak, alder, and birch has largely wound down for the year, and weed pollen, including ragweed, usually doesn't pick up until later in the summer and into fall.
