Forecast
About pollen in Redding
Grass pollen is the main driver in Redding today, sitting at a moderate level on the Universal Pollen Index and pushing the overall reading to moderate as well. Expect that moderate grass count to hold steady over the next few days before easing slightly toward the low end of the forecast window. This fits the season, as grasses typically peak in late spring and early summer, well after the spring surge of tree pollen has tapered off. Tree and weed data are not available for the area right now, so the grass figures are the most reliable guide to what you're encountering outdoors. Ragweed and other weeds usually take over later in the summer and fall, so they're not the concern at this point.
