High Pollen in Tyler, TX

About pollen in Tyler

Tree pollen is the main driver of today's high overall count in Tyler, with grass adding a moderate secondary push and weed pollen staying light. Anyone with sensitivities to tree pollen should expect a fairly bothersome day, while grass may add mild irritation on top. Weed allergy sufferers should have an easier time by comparison. Looking ahead, relief is on the way: tree and grass levels are expected to drop sharply tomorrow and hold low through midweek before creeping back up slightly by the end of the five-day stretch. Weed pollen should stay quiet throughout. This pattern is a bit unusual for early fall, since ragweed and other weeds typically dominate this time of year while tree pollen (from sources like cedar, oak, and pine) usually stays dormant until late winter or early spring — so the current tree activity is worth noting even as conditions ease over the next few days.

What to do today

• Avoid mowing the lawn and raking leaves.
• When driving the car, close your windows and turn the air conditioning system to recirculation mode.
• Keep your windows closed and turn on your air purifier or air conditioning.
• Consider staying indoors during the peak pollen hours (morning and early afternoon).
