Pollen in Lakewood, CO

About pollen in Lakewood

Pollen levels in Lakewood are quiet today, with tree pollen sitting at essentially none. Anyone who typically reacts to elm, oak, ash, or other local trees should get a welcome break, as there is little to nothing in the air to trigger symptoms right now. Looking ahead, this calm stretch is expected to continue over the next several days, with tree pollen forecast to remain minimal. This tracks with the season, since area trees like elm, oak, ash, ailanthus, and cercis do their heaviest pollinating in spring and have largely wound down by midsummer. With grass season typically winding down and ragweed still weeks away, this is a relatively easy period for pollen sensitivity in the Lakewood area.
