About pollen in Phoenix
Weed pollen is the main presence in Phoenix today, though overall levels remain low. Grass is barely registering and shouldn't cause much concern, while weed sits at a mild level that most people will tolerate without difficulty. Sensitive individuals might notice a slight effect, but conditions overall are calm. Looking ahead, this pattern should hold steady through the next several days, with grass staying very low and weed remaining in the low range. This is typical for mid-August in the desert Southwest, as the intense summer heat keeps most tree pollen, including mesquite and palo verde, well past their spring peak, while weed pollen tends to linger into late summer ahead of the more active fall season.
