What makes Florence-Graham's pollen season distinctive?

Florence-Graham sits in the mild Mediterranean California zone, which means an early start — mild winters pull tree pollen forward into late winter, ahead of a spring grass peak and a relatively contained ragweed fall. That shapes when symptoms hit and which allergen to watch.

How do I reduce pollen exposure in Florence-Graham?

Through Florence-Graham's peak windows (tree Jan–Apr, grass Mar–Jun, ragweed Aug–Oct), keep windows shut and run AC on recirculate; counts run highest on dry, warm, windy mornings, so push outdoor activity to late afternoon or just after rain, which clears pollen from the air. A HEPA purifier indoors, a saline rinse after being outside, showering before bed, and starting antihistamines a week or two before your worst local window all measurably cut symptoms.

What pollen index counts as high?

Pollen is reported on a categorical scale — None, Low, Moderate, High, and Very High. "High" and above means most allergy sufferers notice symptoms even with brief outdoor exposure, and sensitized people should limit time outside and pre-medicate. "Low" to "Moderate" usually only affects highly sensitive individuals.
