Very Low Pollen in Santa Ana, CA

About pollen in Santa Ana

Pollen levels in Santa Ana remain quiet today. Tree pollen is absent entirely, while grass and weed pollen are both present only in trace amounts. For most people, this means little to no irritation, though those with heightened sensitivity might notice a faint effect from the grass or weed pollen in the air. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to hold steady over the next several days, with grass and weed pollen continuing at these same low levels and tree pollen staying absent. This lull fits the season — local trees such as Syagrus, Jacaranda, Liquidambar, Prunus, and Lophostemon typically release their pollen in spring, so it makes sense that tree activity is dormant now. Grass and weed pollen, including ragweed-type sources common in early fall, are also winding down this time of year, making for a generally easy stretch for allergy sufferers.
