Low Pollen in Burbank, CA

About pollen in Burbank

Weed pollen is the most active type in Burbank today, though it remains at a low level overall. Grass is present but barely registers, and trees are essentially quiet right now. Most people should get through the day without much irritation, though those especially sensitive to weed pollen may notice mild symptoms. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to hold fairly steady over the next several days, with weed and grass both staying in the low range and tree pollen remaining absent. This fits the usual pattern for early October, as the local trees such as Plane, Birch, Washingtonia, Pine, and Liquidambar are well past their active spring season, while weeds like ragweed can still linger into fall before tapering off with cooler weather.
