Very Low Pollen in Minneapolis, MN

About pollen in Minneapolis

Pollen levels around Minneapolis are quiet today. Tree pollen is absent entirely, and weed pollen is only barely present, registering at a very low level. Overall, most people should be able to go about their day without any noticeable irritation, even those who tend to be sensitive to weed pollen like ragweed. Looking ahead, expect a modest uptick in weed pollen over the next couple of days, rising to a moderate level before easing slightly by the end of the five-day stretch. This lines up with the season, as ragweed and other late-summer weeds are typically most active this time of year in Minnesota. Tree pollen, meanwhile, should stay dormant, since local species like elm, maple, oak, and syringa have long finished their spring release and won't be active again until next year.
