About pollen in Santa Barbara
Grass pollen is the only type showing any activity in Santa Barbara today, and even that is running quite low. Most people, including those with sensitivities, should find conditions comfortable with little to no irritation expected. Looking ahead, grass pollen is expected to hold steady at this same low level through the next several days, so no significant changes are on the horizon. This lull fits the seasonal pattern for the area — the spring peak for oak, sycamore, and other local trees has passed, and while grasses can linger into summer, this year's levels remain mild. Weed pollen, which typically becomes more relevant later in the summer and into fall, isn't a factor yet.
