Moderate Pollen in West Covina, CA

About pollen in West Covina

Weed pollen is the main story in West Covina today, sitting at a moderate level that could be noticeable for those who tend to react to it. Grass remains at a very low background level, unlikely to cause much trouble, while tree pollen is essentially quiet for now. Looking ahead, weed pollen should ease slightly over the next several days but is expected to linger in the low-to-moderate range, so sensitive individuals may still notice some effects into the week. Grass should hold steady at its current low level. This pattern fits the season, as late summer into fall is prime time for weeds like ragweed, while tree species common to the area, such as oak and sycamore, are well past their spring peak and not contributing much right now.
