Local Environmental Conditions
The area around this location in West Sacramento is mostly built-up land, with some woodland. Along a stream or river nearby, trees such as poplar grow in the damper ground and add their own pollen. Of the allergenic trees nearby, oak matters most, while maple and poplar also contribute. Grasses are a major source, with pigweed and plantain adding to the weed pollen load.
Oak, maple and poplar lead the season in mid-spring, as temperatures climb to around 15°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grasses take over in late spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. Later, pigweed and plantain keep weed pollen in the air from early summer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in winter, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

Does pollen in West Sacramento 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 West Sacramento 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 West Sacramento, 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.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
