Discussion

The quantity of pollen grains in the air for Monday will remain relatively stable in the extremely low range. This is a result of stable temperatures. Although pollen is almost non-existent at this time, the budding trees are not far off. By the time the tree buds are noticeable, the new pollen is already in the air.

Allergy Facts

Most pollen grains are 20 to 40 micrometers in size, however, there are many that are far from the norm. Pumpkin pollen grains, for example, can reach 250 micrometers in diameter--almost large enough to see with the naked eye.
