Low Pollen in Sioux Falls, SD

About pollen in Sioux Falls

Weed pollen is the only real presence in Sioux Falls today, and it remains at a low level. Tree pollen is absent entirely, so those with sensitivities should notice little more than mild, occasional effects from the weed pollen circulating in the air. Overall, this is an easy day for most allergy sufferers. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at a low level for the next few days before easing slightly toward the end of the forecast period. Tree pollen should stay quiet throughout, which fits the season: trees like ash, honeylocust, maple, and spruce have long finished their spring release and won't be active again until next year. This time of year belongs to late-season weeds such as ragweed, and conditions suggest a gradual winding down as autumn progresses toward winter dormancy.
