Moderate Pollen in Arden-Arcade, CA

About pollen in Arden-Arcade

Weed pollen is the main story in Arden-Arcade today, sitting at a moderate level that could be noticeable for those who tend to react to it. Tree pollen is absent right now, and grass is holding at a very low level, so it shouldn't contribute much to how you're feeling. Over the next several days, weed pollen is expected to ease slightly from moderate toward a lower level, while grass should remain steady at very low and tree pollen is likely to stay quiet. This pattern fits the season well: with trees like alder, oak, and mulberry well past their spring peak and grass between active periods, weeds are the pollen type most likely to cause irritation this time of year as autumn settles in.

What to do today
