Fraxinus velutina
Low today, mostly weed pollen.
Last updated October 9, 2026
Overall pollen levels in Paradise are low today, with weeds standing out as the main source of any irritation. Grass is present but barely registering, while tree pollen is absent entirely. For most people, today's conditions should be easy to manage, though those especially sensitive to weed pollen may notice mild effects outdoors. Looking ahead, this pattern is expected to hold steady through the next several days, with weed pollen remaining low and grass staying very light with only a slight uptick at times. Tree pollen should stay quiet throughout, which is typical for this point in the year since local trees like Acacia and Vitex have already finished their spring release. The modest weed presence fits the season as well, as fall is when weed pollen tends to linger in the desert Southwest before tapering off with cooler weather.
