Very Low Pollen in Mid-City, CA

About pollen in Mid-City

Pollen levels around Mid-City are quiet today. Tree pollen is absent, and weeds are running very low, contributing the only real activity in the air. For most people, this should mean an easy day outdoors with little to no irritation, even for those who tend to react to weed pollen. Looking ahead, this calm pattern should hold steady over the next several days, with weed pollen expected to stay at a low, consistent level and tree pollen remaining absent. This tracks with the season: local trees such as Ficus, Prunus, Ceratonia, Liriodendron, and Phoenix have their heaviest release earlier in the year and are not contributing much right now. As late summer continues, weed pollen is the main thing to keep an eye on, though current conditions suggest it will stay mild in the near term.
