About pollen in Sacramento

Tree pollen is the only type active in Sacramento today, and it remains at a low level. Most people should get through the day without much irritation, though those who are especially sensitive to oak, ash, maple, or similar trees might notice a mild effect. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to hold steady at this low level over the next several days, offering little cause for concern. This lines up with the season, since local trees like oak, plane, zelkova, ash, and maple are largely dormant in November, with their heavier pollen output still months away in spring.
