Very Low Pollen in Buffalo, NY

About pollen in Buffalo

Tree pollen is the only category registering in Buffalo today, and it remains at a very low level. Sensitive individuals are unlikely to notice much in the way of symptoms, and for most people this is a comfortable stretch for anyone concerned about airborne allergens. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to stay very low through the next several days, with no meaningful shift on the horizon. This tracks with the season, since the main pollen output from trees like maple, birch, oak, Aesculus, and lilac (Syringa) is well behind us at this point in summer. With grass season winding down and ragweed still weeks away, this is generally a quieter time of year for pollen in the region.
