About pollen in Des Moines

Pollen activity in Des Moines is essentially quiet as mid-November settles in. With trees bare and weeds largely finished for the season, there is little to report in the way of airborne pollen, and most allergy sufferers should find the air calm today. Looking ahead, this pattern is typical for late fall in central Iowa. Oak, maple, and elm trees have long since released their spring pollen and won't stir again until temperatures warm in the coming months, while grasses and ragweed have wound down after their late-summer run. Expect this lull to continue through the next few days, with the next real uptick in pollen not likely until trees begin to bud out in early spring.
