Moderate Pollen in Sioux Falls, SD

About pollen in Sioux Falls

Grass pollen is the main driver in Sioux Falls today, sitting at a moderate level and pushing the overall index to moderate as well. Tree pollen has dropped off to very low, so local species like Linden, Juglans, Pine, Ash, and Honeylocust are contributing little right now. Expect grass to hold steady at moderate for the next couple of days before easing toward low by the end of the forecast period, while tree counts stay flat at very low throughout. That pattern fits the season, as grass typically peaks in late spring and early summer once the spring tree surge has faded. No weed pollen data is available at this time.

What to do today

• It's important to shower and wash your hair after spending a lot of time outdoors.
• When spending time outside, use sunglasses and a cap to keep pollen out of your face and eyes.
• Wash clothes worn outdoors to remove any remnants of pollen grains.
• If possible, wear glasses instead of contact lenses.
• Did you hang any laundry outside? Now is a good time to hang clothes indoors or use a dryer if possible.
