Very Low Pollen in Oakland, CA

About pollen in Oakland

Pollen levels around Oakland remain quiet today. Tree pollen is absent, and grass pollen is only at a very low level, so most people should notice little to nothing in the way of symptoms. Overall, this is a calm day for anyone who typically deals with seasonal allergies. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to hold steady over the next couple of days, with grass staying low and tree pollen remaining a non-issue. This tracks with the season: trees such as plane, ash, lophostemon, prunus, and cercis have already finished their main pollen release for the year, and grass typically tapers off as summer progresses. For now, sensitive individuals can expect an easy stretch with little pollen to contend with.
