Anyone sensitive to airborne allergens should find conditions easy to manage, with little to no irritation expected from trees such as Prunus, Magnolia, Olea, Ficus, or Pittosporum. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to remain at this low level through the next several days, offering a stretch of calm air for allergy sufferers.
