Very Low Pollen in Albuquerque, NM

About pollen in Albuquerque

Grass pollen is the main story in Albuquerque today, though it remains at a low level overall. Tree pollen is essentially absent right now, so anyone sensitive to grass may notice mild effects, while those bothered mainly by tree pollen should have an easy day. Looking ahead, grass levels are expected to hold steady over the next couple of days before easing slightly toward the low end of the scale through the rest of the week. Tree pollen should stay quiet, which fits the seasonal pattern — trees like ash, elm, and pine typically finish their peak release well before summer sets in. With grass season now the primary concern locally, conditions are likely to remain mild and manageable in the near term.
