About pollen in Surprise
Weed pollen is the main driver of today's moderate conditions in Surprise, with grass activity staying very low. Those sensitive to weeds may notice some mild symptoms outdoors, while grass is unlikely to cause much trouble at all. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at a moderate level through the next several days, so anyone affected should expect similar conditions rather than a quick letup. Grass should remain quiet in the same stretch. This pattern fits the season, as desert weeds like ragweed and amaranth are typically the persistent source of pollen into late fall in the Phoenix area, while tree pollen from species such as mesquite, olive, and palo verde won't become a factor again until closer to spring.
