Moderate Pollen in Hemet, CA

About pollen in Hemet

Weed pollen is the main driver of today's moderate conditions in Hemet, and those who are sensitive to it may notice some effects, from mild sniffling to more irritated eyes and sinuses. Grass pollen remains at a very low level and is unlikely to cause much trouble, while tree pollen is essentially absent right now. Looking ahead, this pattern should hold steady over the next several days, with weed pollen staying in the moderate range and grass continuing at a very low, background level. This lines up with the season: early fall in Southern California is typically ragweed and other weed pollen territory, following the grass pollen of late spring and early summer and the oak, sycamore, and other tree pollen that peaks in spring. With tree pollen quiet this time of year, weed exposure is the main factor worth keeping in mind through the coming days.
