Pollen in Metairie, LA

About pollen in Metairie

Pollen activity is essentially quiet across Metairie today. Tree pollen is registering as absent, and there is no indication of significant activity from any other pollen source at this time. For most residents, including those with sensitivities, today should bring little to no irritation from airborne pollen. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to remain calm, with tree pollen staying at negligible levels through the next several days. This lull fits the season, as the height of tree pollen from species like oak, ile, pistacia, nerium, and celtis has already passed for the year. With midsummer heat settling in over the New Orleans area, most local trees are past their pollen-producing phase, so anyone sensitive to tree allergens should find some relief in the near term.
