Very Low Pollen in El Cajon, CA

About pollen in El Cajon

Pollen levels around El Cajon are quiet today. Tree pollen is essentially absent, and weeds are only barely present, registering at a very low level. Overall, this should be an easy day for most people, including those who are typically sensitive to airborne allergens. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to stay flat and uneventful over the next several days, which fits the season since local trees like Cupaniopsis, Prunus, Lophostemon, Koelreuteria, and Washingtonia typically release their pollen earlier in the year, in spring rather than late summer. Weed pollen, on the other hand, is expected to inch up slightly from very low to a mild-to-moderate presence, which lines up with the time of year, as weeds often become more active in late summer. Sensitive individuals may want to keep a light eye on symptoms as the week progresses.
