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.

Frequently asked questions
What is the pollen count in El Paso today?
PollyMap publishes real, microscope-verified pollen counts for El Paso — measured from physical air samples. The latest report on this page shows current tree, grass, weed, and mold levels.
Is the pollen count high in El Paso right now?

When is allergy season in El Paso?
February through October: mulberry and juniper in spring, grasses in summer, and tumbleweed and ragweed in the fall.
Why is mulberry such a problem in El Paso?
Fruitless mulberry was planted heavily across the city for decades. Its spring pollen is highly allergenic — some Southwest cities eventually banned new plantings because of it.
Is pollen still bad in El Paso in the fall?
Yes. El Paso's desert fall brings ragweed and weeds like Russian thistle through October, and dry, windy days keep pollen airborne. Levels ease by December but the mild desert winter shortens the break.
