Pollen in Colorado Springs, CO

About pollen in Colorado Springs

Pollen is essentially quiet across Colorado Springs today. Tree pollen, the only category being tracked right now, is sitting at none, so those with seasonal allergies should get a comfortable day with little to no irritation from the air outdoors. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to stay calm, with tree pollen holding at none through the next several days. This fits the time of year, since local trees like ash, oak, and elm typically release their pollen in spring rather than mid-November. With the region settling into late autumn, allergy sufferers can expect a stretch of low pollen activity until trees begin their next cycle in the months ahead.
