Very Low Pollen in Koreatown, CA

About pollen in Koreatown

Pollen levels in Koreatown are quiet today, with the overall count sitting at the low end of the scale. Tree pollen is essentially absent, so trees like oak, jacaranda, cinnamomum, ficus, and lagerstroemia are not contributing to any irritation right now. Weed pollen is present but at a very low level, meaning most people, including those with sensitivities, should notice little to no effect. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to stay steady over the next several days, with tree pollen remaining absent and weed pollen holding at a similarly low, low-key level. This lines up with the seasonal pattern for mid-August, since the region's tree pollen season peaked back in spring and grass has largely wound down by now. Weed pollen, which tends to build into late summer and fall, is only just starting to register, so this is a good stretch for anyone who typically struggles during allergy season.
