Discussion
Based on past pollen counts and expected weather conditions, pollen levels for Monday will be falling into the very low range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this decrease is due in part to strong winds and heavy rains in the afternoon which tend to wash pollen out of the air.
Allergy Facts
Pollen from brightly colored, attractive flowers is usually not the cause of hay fever because it is seldom dispersed into the atmosphere in great quantities. These plants generally produce large, waxy pollen grains that are instead transported by insects such as bees and ants.
