Tracy's parks and the San Joaquin Delta waterways feature oak, ash, and walnut as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Central Valley farmland and grasslands contribute substantial grass and crop pollen, while prevailing westerly winds channel marine air through the Altamont Pass and can periodically moderate pollen levels.

How often is the Tracy pollen forecast updated?

The Tracy pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Tracy come from nearby or far away?

Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Are pollen levels in Tracy based on measurements or forecasts?

Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Tracy, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
