About pollen in Sacramento

Grass pollen is the only real presence in Sacramento's air today, and it remains at a low level. Most people should move through the day without much irritation, though those especially sensitive to grass may notice mild symptoms outdoors. Tree pollen is essentially absent right now, so it is not a concern at this point. Looking ahead, grass pollen is expected to hold steady at this same low level through the next several days, so no significant change is on the horizon. This fits the usual summer pattern for the region, as tree varieties like maple, ailanthus, albizia, alder, and birch have already finished their heavier pollen release earlier in the year and are now quiet. Grass tends to linger as the main source of pollen through the warmer months, so it is worth keeping in mind even at these mild levels.
