Moderate Pollen in Sunrise, FL

About pollen in Sunrise

Grass and weed pollen are both running at moderate levels in Sunrise today, making them the main sources of irritation for anyone with sensitivities. Tree pollen, by contrast, is nearly absent and unlikely to cause any trouble. Those who react to grasses or weeds may notice some sneezing or congestion outdoors, though most people should be able to go about their day without much disruption. Looking ahead, grass pollen is expected to ease slightly over the next several days, while weed pollen is likely to hold steady at a moderate level through the week. Tree pollen should remain minimal throughout, consistent with this time of year, since South Florida's trees—like oak and pine—typically finish their peak pollination well before fall. The more persistent presence of weed pollen fits the season, as ragweed and related plants are typically most active in late summer and early autumn.
