About pollen in Tempe

Pollen levels around Tempe remain quiet today. Grass is the only type showing any activity, and even that is sitting at a very low level, unlikely to cause much trouble for most people. Tree pollen is absent entirely, so those sensitive to it can expect an easy day. Looking ahead, this calm pattern should hold steady through the next several days, with grass staying at a low, steady level and tree pollen remaining out of the picture. This lull fits the season: desert trees such as mesquite, olive, and palo verde finished their peak release back in spring, and with the heat of midsummer settling in, overall pollen activity tends to stay subdued until weeds pick up later in the year.
