About pollen in El Monte
Weed pollen is the main story in El Monte today, sitting at a low level that most people will barely register, though those with stronger sensitivities may notice mild effects outdoors. Grass pollen is present but at a very low level, essentially a non-factor for most, and tree pollen is quiet, with nothing stirring at the moment. Looking ahead, expect little change through the next several days: weed pollen should hold steady at a low level, and grass will remain very low. This pattern fits the season, as late September marks a time when trees such as oak and sycamore have long finished releasing pollen, grasses are winding down after their spring and early summer peak, and weeds like ragweed and sagebrush are typically the most active source this time of year. Overall, conditions should stay mild and manageable for the near future.
