Very Low Pollen in Sugar Land, TX

About pollen in Sugar Land

Pollen activity in Sugar Land remains minimal today, with both tree and weed sources holding at very low levels. Grass readings are not showing up at all right now, and neither tree nor weed pollen is expected to cause much trouble for most people. Even those with sensitivities should find today relatively easy to manage. Looking ahead, the next several days should bring more of the same calm pattern, with tree and weed pollen staying low throughout the stretch. This fits the season well, since area trees like oak, hickory, vitex, and Washingtonia palm are well past their active periods, and crape myrtle (lagerstroemia) is also dormant this time of year. With fall settling in, pollen counts across the board should remain quiet for now.
