About pollen in Santa Fe

Grass pollen is the main driver today in Santa Fe, sitting at moderate levels and pushing the overall index to a 3. Tree pollen has dropped to very low, fitting the seasonal pattern as the spring surge from junipers, piñon pines, and cottonwoods fades well behind us. The five-day forecast shows little change ahead, with grass holding steady at moderate and trees remaining very low throughout. This lines up with late June expectations, when grasses typically peak across the region after the early-season tree pollen has wound down. Weed pollen data isn't available right now, though ragweed generally becomes more of a factor later in summer and into fall.
