Pollen in Santa Monica, CA

About pollen in Santa Monica

Pollen activity in Santa Monica is quiet today. Tree pollen is reading at essentially zero, and with no other categories showing measurable activity, most residents should find the air comfortable for outdoor time, even those who are usually sensitive. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to stay flat and low over the coming days, so no significant change is anticipated in the near term. This tracks with the season: the local trees that matter most here, including Prunus, Washingtonia, Eucalyptus, plane, and pine, typically shed their pollen earlier in the year, and by midsummer their output has largely wound down. For now, conditions remain settled and low-impact.

What to do today

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