Very Low Pollen in Long Beach, CA

About pollen in Long Beach

Pollen levels in Long Beach are quiet today. Tree pollen is absent, and grass pollen is running very low, so most people should be able to go about their outdoor plans without much concern. Even those with sensitivities are unlikely to notice much of an effect under these conditions. Looking ahead, the next several days should bring more of the same, with grass pollen staying at a low, steady level and tree pollen remaining essentially inactive. This fits the seasonal pattern for midsummer in Southern California: trees like Phoenix, Persea, Ficus, Jacaranda, and Prunus have largely finished their spring release, while grasses continue to contribute a modest, background level of pollen through the season. Overall, it is a calm stretch for allergy sufferers in the area.
