Moderate Pollen in Lakewood, CO

About pollen in Lakewood

Grass pollen is the main driver in Lakewood today, sitting at a moderate level and pushing the overall index to moderate as well. Tree pollen has dropped to very low, so local species like Ash, Maple, Pine, Picea, and Elm are contributing little to the current load. The five-day outlook shows grass holding steady at moderate while tree pollen stays flat at very low, so expect conditions much like today through the period. This pattern fits the late-spring-into-early-summer window, when grass typically takes over as the dominant source after the spring tree season fades. No weed pollen data is available at this time.

What to do today

• It's important to shower and wash your hair after spending a lot of time outdoors.
• When spending time outside, use sunglasses and a cap to keep pollen out of your face and eyes.
• Wash clothes worn outdoors to remove any remnants of pollen grains.
• If possible, wear glasses instead of contact lenses.
• Did you hang any laundry outside? Now is a good time to hang clothes indoors or use a dryer if possible.
