Very Low Pollen in Westminster, CA

About pollen in Westminster

Pollen levels in Westminster are quite low today. Grass is the only type showing any activity, and even that is minimal — most people won't notice it at all, though those with heightened sensitivity might catch a faint trace. Tree pollen is absent altogether, making for a generally calm day for allergy sufferers. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to stay steady over the next several days, with grass holding at that same low level and tree pollen remaining quiet. This lull fits the season, as local trees such as Rhaphiolepis, Photinia, Tristaniopsis, Lagerstroemia, and Melaleuca have largely finished their spring pollen release. With summer underway, grass tends to linger at low background levels like this before ragweed and other late-season plants become more relevant in the fall.
