Very low today, mostly weed pollen.
Last updated August 14, 2026
Pollen activity in Hawthorne is quiet today. Tree pollen is absent, and weed pollen is registering at only a very low level. For most people, including those with sensitivities, today should pass without much notice from either category. Looking ahead, this pattern is expected to hold steady over the next several days, with weed pollen staying at a low, background level and tree pollen remaining absent. This lull fits the season: local trees such as jacaranda and magnolia, along with ceratonia, albizia, and cupaniopsis, typically finish their pollen release well before late summer, and grass season has also wound down. With ragweed and other late-season weeds only mildly active, conditions overall remain calm and easy to manage.
