When is pollen worst in Thorp?

The late-summer ragweed run is the headline in Thorp: weed pollen peaks Aug–Nov, the longest and most punishing window of the year here. Tree pollen comes first (Mar–May) and grass bridges the gap (May–Jul), but it's the ragweed stretch that floors most sufferers. Currently, grass pollen is what's driving counts this month.

What's in the air in Thorp right now?

Right now tree pollen leads in Thorp at a Very Low (1/5) level. The species actually in the air today: Birch, Pine, Oak, and Grasses. On a quiet live day, Thorp's seasonal calendar fills in what's typically airborne this time of year.

Is tree or grass pollen higher in Thorp in spring?

In spring, tree pollen leads in Thorp — trees pollinate Mar–May, ahead of grass (May–Jul). The handoff is the tail of the tree window: tree counts taper as grass climbs, so an early-spring flare is more likely tree pollen and a late-spring one more likely grass.

What makes Thorp's pollen season distinctive?

Thorp sits in the continental Plains zone, which means the country's worst ragweed — the continental Plains run a long, severe late-summer-into-fall weed season on top of the usual tree and grass peaks. That shapes when symptoms hit and which allergen to watch.

How do I reduce pollen exposure in Thorp?

Through Thorp's peak windows (tree Mar–May, grass May–Jul, ragweed Aug–Nov), keep windows shut and run AC on recirculate; counts run highest on dry, warm, windy mornings, so push outdoor activity to late afternoon or just after rain, which clears pollen from the air. A HEPA purifier indoors, a saline rinse after being outside, showering before bed, and starting antihistamines a week or two before your worst local window all measurably cut symptoms.

What pollen index counts as high?

Pollen is reported on a categorical scale — None, Low, Moderate, High, and Very High. "High" and above means most allergy sufferers notice symptoms even with brief outdoor exposure, and sensitized people should limit time outside and pre-medicate. "Low" to "Moderate" usually only affects highly sensitive individuals.
