Very Low Pollen in Greensboro, NC

About pollen in Greensboro

Tree pollen is the only type registering in Greensboro today, and it remains at a very low level. Most people, even those who typically react to oak, pine, maple, ash, or hickory, should notice little to no irritation from tree pollen right now. Overall conditions are calm, making today a comfortable one for spending time outdoors. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to stay at this same low level through the next several days, so no significant shifts are on the horizon. This lull fits the season, as area trees finished their heaviest pollen release back in spring and have long since quieted down. With midsummer underway, attention for allergy sufferers typically shifts toward grasses, though for now Greensboro's air remains largely free of irritation from any pollen source.

What to do today
