Ulmus parvifolia
Very low today, mostly grass pollen.
Last updated July 21, 2026
Pollen levels in Universal City remain quiet today. Tree pollen is essentially absent, while grass pollen is registering only a very low presence. Overall, this adds up to a mild day for most people, with little reason to expect noticeable symptoms even among those who are typically sensitive. Looking ahead, this calm pattern should hold steady over the next several days, with grass pollen expected to stay at a similarly low, background level. Tree pollen from local varieties such as mulberry, prunus, ficus, grevillea, and jacaranda has largely wound down for the season, which is typical for midsummer, since these trees tend to release most of their pollen in spring. With grass pollen also past its late-spring peak, conditions should stay generally easy on allergy sufferers in the days ahead.
