About pollen in Gilbert
Weed pollen is the main driver of today's moderate conditions in Gilbert, with levels noticeable enough that sensitive individuals may feel some effect outdoors. Grass pollen, by contrast, remains very low and should pose little concern. Overall, this is a day where symptoms are possible but manageable for most people. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to climb slightly over the next several days, moving from moderate into the high range, so those prone to reactions may want to be a bit more mindful as the week progresses. Grass pollen should stay low and steady. This pattern fits the season well, as autumn in the desert Southwest tends to favor weeds like ragweed while tree pollen from species such as mesquite and olive remains dormant until spring.
