Pollen in Los Angeles, CA

About pollen in Los Angeles

Pollen levels across Los Angeles are quiet today, with tree pollen sitting at essentially none. Anyone who typically reacts to airborne allergens should find little to notice outdoors right now, as conditions are about as calm as they get. Looking ahead, this lull is expected to hold over the next few days, with tree pollen staying low or absent throughout the forecast period. This fits the season well: November falls in a natural gap for Southern California's tree bloom, well before the spring stretch when species like Grevillea, Brachychiton, Podocarpus, Eucalyptus, and Pyrus typically become more active and start contributing to higher counts.
