Moderate Pollen in Sioux Falls, SD

About pollen in Sioux Falls

Tree pollen is the main story in Sioux Falls today, sitting at a moderate level. Ash, maple, oak, celtis, and cottonwood are the likely sources this time of year, and sensitive individuals may notice some effects when spending time outdoors, though most people should get through the day without much trouble. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to ease significantly starting tomorrow and stay low through the rest of the workweek. This drop-off fits the seasonal pattern, as the heavier tree pollen releases typically associated with spring have largely wound down by midsummer. With levels easing, outdoor conditions should feel more comfortable for those who track pollen closely in the coming days.

What to do today

• Pollen is moderate today; sensitive people should limit long stretches outdoors, especially in the afternoon.
• Shower and change clothes after spending time outside.
• Keep windows closed during the highest-pollen hours.
