About pollen in Waco
Weed pollen is the only real presence in Waco's air today, and it remains at a low level. Most people should get through the day without much irritation, though those with a strong sensitivity to ragweed and similar late-summer weeds may notice mild symptoms during extended time outdoors. Looking ahead, the next several days should bring more of the same, with weed pollen holding steady at this low level rather than climbing. This fits the seasonal pattern for mid-August in Central Texas, as oak, pecan, and elm trees are dormant this time of year and grasses have largely wound down, leaving weeds like ragweed as the primary source of pollen heading into fall. Anyone who reacts to ragweed may want to keep an eye on conditions as the season progresses, since activity typically builds further into September.
