About pollen in Stamford

Grass pollen is the main driver in Stamford today, sitting at a moderate level (3) and pushing the overall index to moderate as well. Tree pollen has dropped to very low (1), so it's a minor factor right now. The forecast holds grass steady at moderate through the next five days, with no sign of a near-term let-up. This tracks with the late-spring-into-summer pattern, when grasses take over from the oaks, birches, and maples that dominate the earlier tree season. Weed pollen, including ragweed, is not yet a concern and won't typically ramp up until later in the summer.
