Very Low Pollen in Atlanta, GA

About pollen in Atlanta

Pollen levels in Atlanta are quiet today, with tree pollen sitting at a very low level. Most people, even those with sensitivities, should notice little to no effect from trees like oak, nyssa, birch, ilex, and halesia right now, as they are essentially dormant this time of year. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to remain calm, with tree pollen holding steady at a very low level over the next few days. This is typical for midsummer in the region, since these trees release most of their pollen in spring rather than now. With grass and ragweed season still ahead for many areas later in the summer and into fall, this stretch offers a relatively easy period for anyone who deals with seasonal allergies.

What to do today
