About pollen in Tucson
Weed pollen is the main driver of today's conditions in Tucson, sitting at a moderate level. Those with sensitivities may notice some mild irritation, especially if spending extended time outdoors, but for most people this level of weed pollen should be manageable without much disruption. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at this moderate level through the next several days, so little change is on the horizon. This fits the seasonal pattern, as late fall in the desert Southwest often brings lingering weed activity even as the year winds down. Tree pollen from desert species like mesquite and olive typically remains quiet this time of year, with their more active stretch still months away in spring.
