About pollen in Provo
Weed pollen is the main contributor to today's outdoor air in Provo, sitting at a moderate level. Tree pollen is quiet with essentially nothing in the air. For most people, today should feel manageable, though those with a sensitivity to weeds like sagebrush or ragweed may notice some symptoms during time spent outside, particularly in the afternoon. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at a moderate level through the next several days, so little change is on the horizon. Tree pollen should remain absent, which lines up with the season, since local trees such as cottonwood, oak, and box elder finished their pollen release back in spring. This time of year in Provo, weeds are the main story, and that pattern typically continues as summer moves toward fall.
