Low Pollen in Van Nuys, CA

About pollen in Van Nuys

Grass pollen is the only real activity in Van Nuys today, and it remains at a low level, so most people should get through the day without much irritation. Tree pollen is quiet, with none of the local varieties like ficus, ash, melia, ceratonia, or queen palm contributing to the air right now. Overall, conditions are mild and manageable for the vast majority of allergy sufferers. Looking ahead, grass pollen is expected to ease slightly and hold steady at a low level over the next several days, so little change is anticipated through the week. Tree pollen should stay absent, which fits the seasonal pattern, as most tree varieties in the area finished their peak output back in spring. With summer underway, grass remains the main source of pollen exposure locally, while weed pollen, including ragweed, typically doesn't become a factor until later in the season.
