El Paso Pollen Report
El Paso's Chihuahuan Desert climate is dry, sunny, and windy — and its allergy calendar reflects it. Fruitless mulberry and juniper hit hard in early spring, grasses carry the summer, and tumbleweed and ragweed close out the fall. Spring windstorms can carry pollen — and dust — across the entire Borderland for days.
