Lubbock Pollen Report
Lubbock sits on the High Plains of West Texas — flat, windy, and surrounded by cotton country. Juniper blows in from the Caprock canyons, elm and mulberry drive the spring, grasses carry the summer, and tumbleweed and ragweed close out the fall. The region's famous winds keep pollen aloft and traveling across the South Plains.

What drives allergies in Lubbock
Trees: juniper, elm, and mulberry (February – May)
Juniper from the Caprock, plus elm and fruitless mulberry in town, drive the spring season.
Grasses: Bermuda and native grasses (April – September)
Lawn and native plains grasses pollinate through the hot, windy summer.
Weeds: tumbleweed and ragweed (August – October)
Russian thistle (tumbleweed) and ragweed dominate the fall, mixing with harvest-season dust from the cotton harvest.
Mold: low, storm-linked
The semi-arid climate keeps mold modest, with spikes after thunderstorms and during irrigation season.

Frequently asked questions
What is the pollen count in Lubbock today?
PollyMap publishes real, microscope-verified pollen counts for Lubbock — 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 Lubbock right now?
Lubbock's worst stretches are March–April (juniper, elm, mulberry), June (grasses), and September–October (tumbleweed, ragweed). The measured reports on this page show today's actual levels.
When is allergy season in Lubbock?
February through October: trees in spring, grasses through the summer, and tumbleweed and ragweed in the fall.
Why do windy days make Lubbock allergies worse?
The High Plains are among the windiest places in Texas — gusts carry juniper, grass, and tumbleweed pollen for miles and keep it aloft all day.
Is pollen still bad in Lubbock in the fall?
Yes. Ragweed peaks on the South Plains through October, and West Texas wind keeps pollen moving. The season usually ends with the first hard frost, which can arrive by late October or November.
