About pollen in Sandy Hills
Weed pollen is the main story in Sandy Hills today, sitting at a moderate level that's likely to be noticeable if you're sensitive to it. Tree pollen is quiet, so any irritation you're feeling is almost certainly coming from weeds rather than trees. For most people, today's levels should be manageable, though those with stronger sensitivities may want to take some precautions when spending extended time outdoors. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady over the next couple of days before climbing to a high level by the end of the forecast window, so conditions may feel more bothersome as the week progresses. This tracks with the season — mid-August is prime time for weeds like ragweed to become more active as summer winds down, while tree pollen from species such as cottonwood, oak, and juniper remains dormant until their spring cycle returns. Expect weeds to stay the dominant factor in local pollen counts through the coming days.
