About pollen in Waukegan

Tree pollen is the only type registering in Waukegan today, and it remains at a very low level. Most residents, including those with sensitivities, should notice little to no irritation from tree sources such as oak, maple, or ash at this point in the season. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to stay at this same low level through the next several days, offering a stretch of easy conditions for anyone typically bothered by it. This lull fits the time of year, since most tree pollen activity in the region winds down well before midsummer, with grasses and later ragweed becoming the more relevant concerns as the season progresses.
