Low Pollen in Minneapolis, MN

About pollen in Minneapolis

Grass pollen is the main story in Minneapolis today, though it remains at a low level that most people will barely notice. Tree pollen is essentially quiet at this point, so anyone sensitive to grasses may feel a mild effect outdoors, while those bothered mainly by trees should have an easy day. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to hold steady through the next several days, with grass and tree pollen both staying in the low range. This fits the seasonal pattern for early July, well past the spring peak for trees like linden, elm, maple, and oak, with grass pollen now the more relevant factor as summer settles in. Overall, allergy sufferers in the area should find this a fairly comfortable stretch.
