Sun protection is advised between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.; a hat, light-colored clothing, and sunscreen are important when you’re outside.

Forecast pollen levels are “moderate” this week with ragweed, grass, and sagebrush listed as the predominant pollen types. Showering and changing after you’ve been outdoors, keeping windows closed when it’s windy, and vacuuming and dusting often will help battle symptoms, in addition to taking allergy medication.
The air quality forecast is “moderate” today and tomorrow on account of ozone.
