High Pollen in Tallahassee, FL

About pollen in Tallahassee

Weed pollen is the main driver of today's high overall count in Tallahassee, with ragweed and similar plants likely to cause noticeable symptoms for anyone with sensitivities. Grass pollen is also active at a moderate level and can add to the irritation, while tree pollen remains low and should not be a significant concern right now. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to ease somewhat over the next couple of days before dipping further, and grass levels should hold steady in the moderate range before tapering off as well. Tree pollen will likely stay quiet throughout the stretch, which fits the season, since local trees such as oak and pine typically release their pollen in spring rather than fall. This time of year in North Florida is really ragweed's stretch, so those with weed allergies may want to pay closer attention over the coming days even as conditions gradually calm down.
