Pollen in Salem, OR

About pollen in Salem

Late July in Salem typically falls in a quieter stretch for pollen, as the spring tree season is long finished and the heavy grass pollen of early summer has largely tapered off. Most sensitive individuals should find the air relatively calm right now, with any lingering effects more likely tied to general summer dust and dry conditions than to a specific plant source. Looking ahead, expect this lull to continue for the next few days, though it is worth keeping an eye out as weeds like ragweed and pigweed begin their gradual rise heading into late summer and fall. The Willamette Valley's common trees, such as alder, birch, and oak, released their pollen back in spring and will not be a factor again until next year, so for now the focus shifts toward grasses finishing their run and weeds slowly stepping in.
