About pollen in Irvine

Pollen levels in Irvine are quite low today, with weed pollen the only type registering any activity, and even that is minimal. Most people, including those with sensitivities, should find the air comfortable with little to no irritation from pollen today. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to stay low through the next several days, so no significant changes are on the horizon. This is typical for mid-August, a period that falls between the region's main pollen surges: the oak, pine, and eucalyptus trees common to Southern California released their pollen earlier in spring, and grasses had their peak in late spring and early summer. Ragweed and other late-season weeds tend to become more active as fall approaches, but for now conditions remain calm.
