Moderate Pollen in Chandler, AZ

About pollen in Chandler

Weed pollen is the main driver of today's moderate conditions in Chandler, with grass activity staying very low. Those sensitive to weeds may notice some mild irritation outdoors, while grass allergies should be a non-issue for now. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to tick up slightly over the next couple of days before settling back to a similar moderate level, so sensitive individuals should expect conditions to stay fairly consistent through the week. Grass pollen will remain minimal. This pattern fits the season, as desert weeds like ragweed tend to linger into late fall in the Phoenix area, while tree pollen from species such as mesquite and olive typically stays dormant until spring.
