Sacramento Pollen Report
Sacramento calls itself the City of Trees — and allergy sufferers feel it. The metro's huge urban canopy of valley oak, sycamore, and elm drives a strong spring season, Central Valley grasses pollinate for months, and the valley's still summer air lets pollen accumulate. Rice and orchard country surrounds the metro, adding to the load.

What drives allergies in Sacramento
Trees: oak, sycamore, and elm (February – May)
Valley oak (Quercus lobata), sycamore, elm, and walnut drive the spring, with orchard bloom adding pollen from the surrounding valley.
Grasses: a long Central Valley season (March – August)
Ryegrass, wild oats, and Bermuda grass pollinate across the valley for months — Sacramento's longest allergen season.
Weeds: ragweed and sagebrush (August – October)
Ragweed (Ambrosia) and sagebrush contribute through the fall along the American and Sacramento river corridors.
Mold: winter rains and tule fog
Damp winters and the valley's famous tule fog feed Alternaria and Cladosporium through the cool months — unusual for California.

Frequently asked questions
What is the pollen count in Sacramento today?
PollyMap publishes real, microscope-verified pollen counts for Sacramento — measured from physical air samples. The latest report on this page shows current tree, grass, weed, and mold levels.
Is the pollen count high in Sacramento right now?
Sacramento's worst stretches are March–April (oak) and May–July (grasses). The measured reports on this page show today's actual levels.
When is allergy season in Sacramento?
Trees February–May, grasses March–August, weeds in fall, and mold through the damp, foggy winters — a genuinely long calendar.
Why is Sacramento called the City of Trees — and does it matter for allergies?
The metro has one of the largest urban tree canopies in the US, dense with oak, sycamore, and elm. Beautiful — and a major source of spring pollen at street level.
Is pollen still bad in Sacramento in the fall?
Yes. Sacramento's valley fall brings ragweed and lingering grass pollen, and mold spores spike when the rainy season starts — often in October or November. The valley's mild winters mean a short off-season.
