Very Low Pollen in Newport Beach, CA

About pollen in Newport Beach

Pollen levels around Newport Beach are quite mild today. Tree, grass, and weed pollen are all running low, so most people should be able to go about their outdoor plans without much irritation. If you tend to be sensitive, you might notice a slight presence in the air, but overall conditions are calm. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to fade further over the next couple of days, while grass and weed pollen should hold steady at low levels through the rest of the week. This tracks with the season: local trees such as Washingtonia, Stenocarpus, Chitalpa, Syagrus, and Corymbia are well past their spring peak, and with autumn underway, grass and weed pollen typically stay subdued rather than surging the way ragweed can in other parts of the country. For now, allergy sufferers in the area can expect a relatively easy stretch.
