About pollen in Vista

Weed pollen is the most active category in Vista today, though it remains at a low level overall. Grass is present but very faint, and tree pollen is absent entirely. For most people, this combination should be easy to tolerate, with only those especially sensitive to weed pollen likely to notice any effect. Looking ahead, this pattern should hold steady over the next several days, with weed staying at a low level and grass continuing at a very low, consistent level. Tree pollen is expected to remain quiet, which fits the season, since local trees like oak and sycamore have long finished their spring release and won't be active again until next year. The mild weed presence is typical for early fall in Southern California, as late-season weeds continue to contribute a modest amount of pollen through the coming weeks.
