Low Pollen in Lake Forest, CA

About pollen in Lake Forest

Weed pollen is the main story in Lake Forest today, though even that remains fairly low. Grass is present at only a trace level, and tree pollen is inactive. For most people, this adds up to an easy day outside, with only the most sensitive individuals likely to notice any effect from the weed pollen in the air. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to hold steady over the next several days, with weed pollen staying low and grass continuing at a very low level. Tree pollen should remain quiet for now, which fits the season, since local trees such as oak, sycamore, and eucalyptus typically release their pollen in late winter and spring rather than in fall. The modest weed presence lines up with the time of year, as late summer into autumn is when weeds like ragweed and sagebrush tend to be most active in Southern California.
