About pollen in Richmond
Pollen levels in Richmond are quite mild today. Weed pollen is the only type registering any activity, and even that is at a very low level. Most people, including those with sensitivities, should notice little to no irritation from pollen through the day. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at this same low level over the next five days, with no significant increase on the horizon. This tracks with the seasonal pattern for the Bay Area — the region's oaks, birches, and other trees typically release their heaviest pollen in spring, while grasses peak in late spring and early summer. Now, in mid-August, we're entering the early stretch of weed season, though local weed pollen has yet to build to any noticeable strength.
