About pollen in Springfield
Grass pollen is the only type registering in Springfield today, and it remains at a very low level. Most people, including those with sensitivities, should notice little to no irritation outdoors this afternoon. Overall conditions are calm, making today a good stretch for spending time outside without much concern about pollen exposure. Looking ahead, grass pollen is expected to stay at this same low level through the next several days, with no signs of a notable rise on the horizon. This fits the seasonal pattern, as the heavier grass pollen typically associated with late spring and early summer has largely wound down. Tree pollen from species common to central Illinois, such as oak and maple, has long since passed its peak, and the next seasonal shift to watch for will be ragweed, which tends to pick up later in summer as autumn approaches.
