About pollen in Salem
Weed pollen is the only real presence in Salem's air today, and it's holding at a low level. Trees are quiet, so most people won't notice much in the way of symptoms, though those especially sensitive to weeds may pick up on a mild effect. Looking ahead, this pattern should hold steady through the next several days, with weed pollen staying low and tree pollen remaining absent. This tracks with the season: alder, birch, and cedar have long finished their spring release, and with mid-August underway, attention naturally shifts toward late-summer weeds like ragweed, which tend to build gradually before becoming more prominent into early fall.
