Low Pollen in Sioux City, IA

About pollen in Sioux City

Weed pollen is the main story in Sioux City today, though it remains at a low level overall. Tree pollen is barely registering, so anyone sensitive to that is unlikely to notice much. Overall, this is a fairly easy day for most allergy sufferers, with only mild irritation possible for those who react strongly to weeds. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to inch up over the next several days, moving into the moderate range and likely staying there through much of the stretch, which lines up with the season—ragweed and other late-summer weeds tend to become more active as August progresses. Tree pollen should stay low throughout, consistent with this time of year, since area trees like oak, elm, and cottonwood have long finished their spring release. If you're prone to weed-related symptoms, it may be worth keeping an eye on conditions as the week continues.
