About pollen in West Raleigh
Weed pollen is the main contributor to the air in West Raleigh today, though it remains at a low level overall. Tree pollen is barely registering, so anyone sensitive to trees should have an easy day. For most people, current conditions are mild enough to go unnoticed, with only those particularly sensitive to weeds likely to feel any effect. Looking ahead, this pattern should hold steady through the next several days, with weed pollen staying low and tree pollen remaining minimal. This lines up with the season: mid-August in central North Carolina falls between the spring tree pollen surge from oaks, pines, and hickories and the ragweed-driven weed pollen that tends to climb as late summer moves into fall. For now, the air should stay relatively calm, with only a gradual uptick in weed pollen expected as the season progresses.
