Low Pollen in Westminster, CO

About pollen in Westminster

Tree pollen is the only category registering in Westminster today, and it remains at a low level. Most residents should get through the day without much irritation, though those who are especially sensitive to trees like ash, maple, oak, or cottonwood may notice a mild effect if they spend extended time outdoors. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to hold steady at this same low level through the near-term forecast, with no signs of a sudden increase. This lines up with the seasonal pattern, since the heaviest tree pollen typically shows up in spring rather than midsummer. With grass season winding down and ragweed still a couple of months off, this stretch of summer tends to bring a relative lull in pollen activity for the area.
