About pollen in Springfield
Weed pollen is the main concern in Springfield today, sitting at a moderate level that sensitive individuals will likely notice, particularly if spending extended time outdoors. Tree pollen, by contrast, remains very low and is unlikely to cause any trouble at this point in the season. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady in the moderate range over the next several days, which fits the typical pattern for mid-August as ragweed and other late-summer weeds move into their active stretch. Tree pollen should stay minimal throughout the period, with only a slight uptick by the end of the forecast window. This is consistent with the seasonal lull for oak, maple, and other regional trees, which typically release their heaviest pollen in spring rather than late summer.
