About pollen in El Monte
Weed pollen is the main source of activity in El Monte today, though levels remain low and should pose little trouble for most people. Grass pollen is present as well, but at a very low level that most residents will not notice. Overall, this is a mild day for allergy sufferers, with little need for concern. Looking ahead, the next several days should bring similarly quiet conditions, with grass staying very low throughout and weed pollen holding in the low range, dipping slightly midweek before edging back up. This pattern fits the season, as weeds like ragweed and sagebrush are typically the dominant pollen source in Southern California through early fall, while grass pollen continues its seasonal decline after peaking in late spring and early summer. Tree pollen from local species such as oak and sycamore is largely dormant this time of year and should not play a significant role.
