Low Pollen in Huntington Beach, CA

About pollen in Huntington Beach

Today's pollen levels in Huntington Beach are low across the board, with tree pollen edging out grass and weeds as the most active category. Even so, counts remain light enough that most people should get through the day without much irritation, and those with sensitivities are unlikely to notice more than mild effects. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to fade over the next couple of days, while grass and weed levels should hold steady at their current low levels through the rest of the week. This tapering fits the seasonal pattern, as local palm varieties such as Washingtonia, Phoenix, and Queen palms wind down their pollen production heading into fall, leaving grass and weeds as the more consistent, though still minor, sources of pollen in the area.
