Very Low Pollen in Sandy Springs, GA

About pollen in Sandy Springs

Pollen levels around Sandy Springs are quiet today. Both tree and weed pollen are running very low, so most people should be able to spend time outdoors without much irritation, even those who are usually sensitive. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to stay very low through the next several days, which fits the season, since trees like oak, linden, elm, cercis, and carpinus finished their main pollen release back in spring. Weed pollen is likely to inch up slightly from very low to a mild, noticeable level by midweek, a normal shift as we move deeper into late summer and edge closer to the ragweed season. Overall, conditions remain mild for now, with only a gradual uptick expected.
