Low Pollen in Oakland, CA

About pollen in Oakland

Grass pollen is the main driver in Oakland today, sitting at a Low level (2) and edging out tree pollen, which is Very Low (1) right now. Overall conditions register as Low, so most people will find it a mild day outdoors. The grass forecast holds steady at Low through the next four days before easing toward Very Low at the end of the period, suggesting no significant climb ahead. This pattern fits the season, as grasses tend to dominate through late spring and into early summer while tree contributors like Plane, Ficus, Ginkgo, Lophostemon, and Callistemon have moved well past their spring peak. Weed pollen isn't reported in today's data, which is typical before ragweed picks up later in the summer and fall.
