All the rain we’ve been having, and the occasional peeks of sunshine, have created the perfect storm for pollen. That’s why so many people are suffering from seasonal allergies this year.
Pollen levels are measured on a scale of 0-12, with 8 being on the high side. This weekend the Bay Area might experience a pollen level of 10.6.
