Moderate Pollen in Savannah, GA

About pollen in Savannah

Grass and weed pollen are both running at moderate levels in Savannah today, and these are the ones most likely to cause trouble for sensitive individuals. Tree pollen is barely present and shouldn't be a concern. If you notice sneezing, itchy eyes, or congestion this afternoon, weeds and grasses are the more probable culprits. Looking ahead, this pattern should hold steady through most of the week, with grass and weed pollen staying moderate before grass eases slightly toward the end of the stretch. Tree pollen will remain minimal throughout, which fits the season, since local trees like oak and pine are long past their spring peak. Weed pollen, particularly ragweed, is right on schedule for late September, as this is typically its most active stretch of the year and will likely continue into the coming weeks.
