What This Means
Tree pollen is in peak season across North Carolina right now, and this is about as high as it gets.
Warm temperatures, sunshine, and dry conditions are helping pollen spread easily — especially during the afternoon hours when levels typically spike.
Why It’s So High
- Tree pollen dominates in early spring (February–May)
- Wind helps carry fine pollen particles through the air
- Warm temps accelerate tree blooming
Maple, juniper, and poplar are all early-season producers, which is why they’re leading the way right now.
Quick Tips
- Limit time outdoors during the afternoon
- Keep windows closed (especially during peak hours)
- Change clothes after being outside
- Expect symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, and congestion
The Good News
Rain chances increase late this weekend — especially Sunday — which should help wash some of this pollen out of the air.
