Very Low Pollen in Vancouver, WA

About pollen in Vancouver

Pollen levels around Vancouver remain quiet today. Tree pollen is the only type registering any activity, and even that is sitting at a very low level. Most people, including those with sensitivities, should notice little to no irritation outdoors right now. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to hold steady at this same low level through the next stretch of days, with no signs of a sudden increase. This tracks with the season, since the trees that tend to drive allergy symptoms locally, such as maple, oak, ash, rhamnus, and syringa, are well past their spring peak and releasing little pollen at this point. Grass and weed pollen aren't showing up in current readings, so for now the outdoor air is about as calm as it gets for allergy sufferers.

What to do today

• Pollen is low today, so it's a good day for outdoor activities.
• If you're sensitive, rinsing off after time outside still helps.
