Today's Sedona pollen count comes from our certified local collection site — updated weekly with real samples, not forecasts.
The Sedona pollen count on this page is measured from pollen actually captured in the red rock region, so it reflects local conditions rather than a broad regional forecast. Sedona allergies sit between the low desert and the high country: juniper and oak drive the early season, Bermuda grass carries the summer, and fall weeds keep symptoms going after the Valley has cooled off. Current measured levels are below, followed by what is pollinating right now.
What's Pollinating in Sedona Right Now
Ragweed is the headline allergen in Sedona this time of year. It typically releases pollen from roughly mid-August through the first hard frost, which in Sedona often means late October or early November, and it is joined by amaranth and chenopod weeds plus lingering Bermuda and orchard grass. Alternaria mold can also stay elevated after monsoon rain. Juniper — the 'cedar fever' trigger many Sedona residents know — is not the culprit yet; it usually starts in December or January.

Sedona Allergy Calendar
In Sedona, Arizona, pollen seasons overlap and shift throughout the year. The calendar below shows when trees, grasses, and weeds are most active across the red rock region and greater Arizona.
Spring (Feb–May)
Oaks, mulberries, ashes, and junipers release large amounts of pollen that can trigger sneezing, itchy eyes, and congestion. Grasses and ragweed also start making their presence felt toward the end of spring.
Summer (Jun–Aug)
Bermuda grass is one of the most widespread triggers in Sedona and peaks during the warmer months. Ragweed continues to be a concern, and amaranths — a common desert weed — thrive in the summer heat.
Fall (Sep–Nov)
Grasses like Bermuda and orchard grass remain active well into the season, and amaranths continue to release pollen through the dry autumn months. Privets, popular ornamental shrubs, also peak in fall.
Winter (Dec–Jan)
Ashe's Juniper (known locally as 'cedar fever') and mulberries can begin releasing pollen as early as December or January, catching many people off guard. Elms and ashes also stir up earlier than expected.
