Chinese evergreen elm
Ulmus parvifolia
Very low today, mostly weed pollen.
Last updated August 15, 2026
Pollen is quiet across Universal City today. Tree pollen is essentially absent, and weeds are running very low as well, so most people should not notice any effects even if they're sensitive. Overall, it is a comfortable day to be outside with little concern for allergy flare-ups. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to stay flat over the next few days, which is typical for mid-August since local trees like pine, juniper, and eucalyptus have already had their main release earlier in the year. Weed pollen, on the other hand, is showing a slight upward drift, moving from very low toward a mild, noticeable level by the end of the forecast window. This gradual rise fits the seasonal pattern, as late summer tends to bring weeds into their more active stretch heading into fall.
