About pollen in El Monte
Pollen levels in El Monte are quite low today, with weeds being the only type showing any activity, and even that is minimal. Most people who deal with seasonal allergies should find today an easy one, with little in the way of irritation expected outdoors. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to stay low through the next few days, with a slight uptick possible toward the end of the period. This tracks with the season, as late summer in Southern California typically means the spring tree pollen from species like oak, sycamore, and olive has long since faded, and grass pollen has also wound down. Weeds tend to become the main source of pollen from here into fall, so it is worth keeping an eye on that gradual rise even though conditions remain mild for now.
