Very Low Pollen in Boyle Heights, CA

About pollen in Boyle Heights

Pollen levels in Boyle Heights are quiet today. Both tree and weed pollen are running very low, so most people should be able to go about their outdoor activities without much irritation. Even those with more sensitive allergies are unlikely to notice much of an effect under these conditions. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at these low levels through the next several days, and there's no sign of a significant uptick on the horizon. This lull fits the season, as local trees like ficus, ash, mulberry, plane, and bauhinia typically release their heaviest pollen in spring and are largely past that peak by midsummer. With late summer settling in, it's a comparatively calm stretch for allergy sufferers in the area.
