About pollen in Lakewood

Weed pollen is the main story in Lakewood today, though it remains at a low level that most people won’t notice. Grass is present but at a very low level, and tree pollen is absent entirely. Overall, this adds up to an easy day for allergy sufferers, with only the most sensitive individuals likely to notice any effect. Looking ahead, conditions should stay much the same through the next several days, with weed pollen easing slightly and grass holding steady at a very low level. Tree pollen is expected to remain absent, which fits the season — local trees such as sycamore, oak, and olive typically release their pollen in spring, not fall. This time of year in Southern California is more closely associated with weeds like ragweed, so the mild levels being reported now are consistent with what’s typical for late September.
