Low Pollen in Alhambra, CA

About pollen in Alhambra

Grass pollen is the main driver in Alhambra today, sitting at a Low level on the index, while overall pollen also registers Low. Tree pollen has dropped off to None, so the city's familiar allergenic species—plane, oak, ceratonia, elm, and cupaniopsis—are largely quiet for now. The forecast holds grass steady at Low through the next five days, suggesting no notable change in the days ahead. That pattern fits the late-spring-into-early-summer window, when grass typically takes over as tree pollen fades after its springtime peak. Weed pollen isn't reported in today's data, though that category generally builds later in the season.
