Very Low Pollen in East Los Angeles, CA

About pollen in East Los Angeles

Pollen is quiet across East Los Angeles today. Tree pollen is absent, and weeds are only barely present, registering at a very low level. Overall, this adds up to one of the calmer stretches of the year for allergy sufferers, with little in the air likely to cause noticeable symptoms even for those who are typically sensitive. Looking ahead, the next several days should bring more of the same, with weed pollen holding steady at a very low level and tree pollen staying absent. This fits the seasonal pattern for mid-August, as local trees like Washingtonia, Cinnamomum, Magnolia, Lagerstroemia, and Ficus are well past their spring pollen release and grass season has also wound down. With late-summer weed pollen only just stirring, conditions should remain mild and manageable in the near term.
