About pollen in West Town

Pollen levels around West Town are quiet today, with both tree and weed sources reading very low. Most people should be able to spend time outdoors without much irritation, and those with sensitivities are unlikely to notice more than a mild effect, if any. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to stay minimal through the next several days, which fits the season since oaks, maples, and other local trees finished their heavier release back in spring. Weed pollen is likely to inch up slightly toward the middle of the forecast window, a normal shift as ragweed and related plants begin stirring in late summer. The change should remain subtle for now, but it is worth keeping in mind if you are prone to weed-related symptoms as the season progresses.
