Pollen in Santa Clara, CA

About pollen in Santa Clara

Pollen levels in Santa Clara are quiet today, with tree pollen essentially absent. Anyone who tends to react to pollen should find little to notice outdoors right now, as conditions are calm across the board. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to remain at this low level through the next few days, offering a steady break for those sensitive to species like Ginkgo, Persea, Liquidambar, Maple, and Pistacia. This fits the season well, since these trees typically release their pollen in spring and have largely finished for the year. With midsummer underway, it's worth keeping an eye on grass and weed pollen instead, as they tend to become more relevant during this stretch of the year.

What to do today

• Pollen is minimal today, so it's a great time to be outside.
