Very Low Pollen in Santa Clara, CA

About pollen in Santa Clara

Pollen levels around Santa Clara are quiet today. Tree pollen is absent, while both grass and weed pollen are running very low. Most people should notice little to nothing in the way of symptoms, though those who are especially sensitive to grass or weed pollen might feel a very mild effect. Looking ahead, the next several days should bring more of the same, with grass and weed pollen holding steady at low levels and tree pollen staying quiet. This lull fits the season: local trees such as Pistacia, Liquidambar, Ginkgo, Syagrus, and Maple typically release their pollen in spring, so activity is naturally minimal now. Grass tends to ease as summer ends, and while weeds like ragweed can pick up in early fall, current readings suggest a calm stretch for the days ahead.
