Moderate Pollen in Sunrise, FL

About pollen in Sunrise

Weed pollen is the main contributor to today's moderate overall level in Sunrise, and those sensitive to it may notice some mild irritation outdoors. Grass pollen is running low and tree pollen is close to absent, so neither should pose much of an issue for most people right now. Looking ahead, this pattern should hold steady over the next several days, with weed pollen remaining the most active category before easing up toward the end of the stretch, and grass trailing along at a similarly low level. This fits the season well, as October in South Florida tends to favor weeds like ragweed while trees such as oak and pine stay quiet until their spring bloom. Overall, conditions should remain manageable for most residents through midweek.
