Very Low Pollen in Mid-City, CA

About pollen in Mid-City

Pollen levels in Mid-City are quiet today. Tree pollen is absent, and grass pollen is registering only a very low presence — enough to show up in the air, but not at a level that should cause much trouble for most people, even those with sensitivities. Looking ahead, this calm pattern is expected to continue over the next several days, with grass staying at a similarly low, background level. Tree pollen from species common to the area, such as ficus, prunus, carob, tulip tree, and palm, is well past its active season, which typically peaks in spring, so little activity from these trees is expected right now. With summer underway, grasses are the main contributor to the count, and conditions should remain easy for most people to manage in the near term.
