Moderate Pollen in Redding, CA

About pollen in Redding

Weed pollen is the main driver of today's moderate conditions in Redding, and those with sensitivities may notice some effects if spending time outdoors. Grass pollen remains at a very low level and shouldn't cause much concern, while tree pollen is essentially absent right now. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to ease slightly over the next several days but will likely stay in the moderate range, so it remains the pollen type most worth paying attention to this week. Grass should continue at a very low, steady level throughout the forecast period. This pattern fits the season well — early fall in the Redding area typically brings a tail end of weed activity, including ragweed, as summer transitions toward cooler weather, while pollen from oaks and other regional trees stays quiet until growth resumes in spring.

What to do today

• It's important to shower and wash your hair after spending a lot of time outdoors.
• When spending time outside, use sunglasses and a cap to keep pollen out of your face and eyes.
• Wash clothes worn outdoors to remove any remnants of pollen grains.
• If possible, wear glasses instead of contact lenses.
• Did you hang any laundry outside? Now is a good time to hang clothes indoors or use a dryer if possible.
