About pollen in Springfield
Pollen levels in Springfield are holding low today, with tree and weed pollen essentially tied for the mildest presence. Neither should cause much trouble for most people, though those especially sensitive to weed pollen may notice a slight effect as the season shifts toward it. Over the next several days, tree pollen is expected to stay low and ease slightly by the end of the period, which fits the calendar since most tree species, including the oaks and maples common to central Illinois, finished their heaviest release back in spring. Weed pollen will remain the one to watch, with a modest uptick midweek before settling back down — a typical pattern for mid-August as ragweed and other late-summer weeds begin to stir. Overall, conditions should stay comfortable for the coming days, with only a brief, mild bump in weed pollen to keep in mind.
