About pollen in Phoenix
Weed pollen is the main contributor to today's moderate conditions in Phoenix, with grass activity staying very low and largely in the background. If you tend to react to weed pollen, you may notice some mild effects outdoors today, though most people should get through the day without much trouble. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at a moderate level through the next several days, so there's no real relief or worsening on the horizon for now. Grass should remain minimal through the period as well. This pattern fits the season — autumn in the desert Southwest tends to favor weeds like ragweed and careless weed rather than grass or trees, with species such as mesquite and olive typically quiet until closer to spring.
