About pollen in Bend
Weed pollen is the only real presence in Bend's air today, sitting at a low level that most people will not notice unless they are particularly sensitive to it. Tree pollen is absent entirely, so overall conditions remain calm and easy for most residents to get through outdoor activities without much trouble. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to tick upward over the next few days, moving from low into a moderate range that could be noticeable for those with sensitivities. This lines up with the typical late-summer pattern in the region, when trees like pine and juniper have long finished their pollen release and weeds such as sagebrush and ragweed begin to take over as the main source of irritation heading into fall.
