Moderate Pollen in Sioux Falls, SD

About pollen in Sioux Falls

Tree pollen is the main source of allergy activity in Sioux Falls today, sitting at a moderate level that could be noticeable for those who are sensitive. Ash, maple, oak, celtis, and cottonwood are the trees contributing to this, though this late in the season their output is on the milder side compared to spring peaks. Weeds remain very quiet for now, so most of any discomfort today is likely tied to lingering tree pollen rather than anything else in the air. Looking ahead, tree pollen should ease gradually over the next several days, tapering toward low levels by the end of the stretch as the season winds down. Weed pollen, on the other hand, is expected to climb, moving from very low up to a high level by midweek before easing slightly again. This shift reflects the typical late-summer pattern for the region, as ragweed and other weeds begin to take over as the dominant allergy trigger while tree pollen fades into the background.

What to do today

• Pollen is moderate today; sensitive people should limit long stretches outdoors, especially in the afternoon.
• Shower and change clothes after spending time outside.
• Keep windows closed during the highest-pollen hours.
