About pollen in Westminster

Pollen levels in Westminster are quiet today. Tree pollen is essentially absent, and weeds are contributing only a very small amount to the air. Most people, including those with sensitivities, should be able to go about their day without much concern. Looking ahead, this calm pattern is expected to hold through the next several days, with weed pollen staying light and tree pollen remaining a non-issue. This tracks with the season, as local trees such as Rhaphiolepis, Photinia, Tristaniopsis, Lagerstroemia, and Melaleuca have already finished their main pollen release for the year and are not expected to add much until conditions shift again later in the fall.
