Pollen in Denver, CO

About pollen in Denver

Denver's air is clear of pollen today, with tree pollen sitting at essentially nothing. Anyone who usually reacts to trees like crabapple, hawthorn, plane, cherry, or golden rain tree should get a welcome break, as there is little to nothing in the air to trigger symptoms right now. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to stay quiet over the next stretch of days, so no notable changes are on the horizon. This tracks with the season, since the main tree pollen push in the Denver area typically happens back in spring, well before midsummer. With that period behind us, conditions should remain calm on the tree front, though it is worth keeping in mind that grass and weed pollen can still be active this time of year for those sensitive to them.

What to do today
