Very Low Pollen in Lakewood, CO

About pollen in Lakewood

Tree pollen is the only category registering in Lakewood today, and levels are very low. Most people, even those with sensitivities to trees like ash, maple, pine, spruce, or elm, should notice little to no irritation from the air today. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to hold steady at this low level over the next several days, with no significant changes on the horizon. This tracks with the season, as the heavier tree pollen releases from local varieties typically wind down well before midsummer. With grass season easing and ragweed still weeks away, this is generally a quieter stretch for allergy sufferers in the area.

What to do today

• Pollen is low today, so it's a good day for outdoor activities.
• If you're sensitive, rinsing off after time outside still helps.
