Very Low Pollen in Tempe, AZ

About pollen in Tempe

Pollen levels in Tempe are quiet today. Grass is the only type registering any activity, and even that is at a very low level, so most people should get through the day without any irritation. Tree pollen is absent entirely, which is typical for midsummer in the Valley, well past the season for mesquite, olive, and other desert trees that release pollen earlier in the year. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to hold steady, with grass staying low and tree pollen remaining a non-issue through the next few days. This lull fits the usual seasonal pattern for the region, as summer tends to be a calmer stretch before ragweed and other weeds become more active later in the year. For now, sensitive individuals should find little to worry about outdoors.
