Live oak
Quercus virginiana
Very low today, mostly tree pollen.
Last updated November 14, 2026
Pollen activity in Pasadena remains quiet today, with both tree and weed levels sitting at the low end of the scale. Most people, even those with sensitivities, should notice little to no irritation outdoors. It is a calm stretch for allergy sufferers, with no single pollen type standing out as a concern. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at low levels through the next several days, and tree pollen should remain minimal as well. This fits the season, since local trees like oak, elm, maple, cottonwood, and celtis are well past their active spring release and grasses are dormant this time of year. Conditions should stay comfortable for outdoor activity, with no significant changes anticipated in the near term.
