Low Pollen in Bushwick, NY

About pollen in Bushwick

Tree pollen is the only type registering activity in Bushwick today, and it remains at a low level. Most people should get through the day without much irritation, though those who are especially sensitive to tree species like oak or ash might notice mild symptoms during extended time outdoors. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to hold steady at this same low level over the next stretch of days. This tracks with the seasonal pattern, as the heavy tree pollen releases from oak, honeylocust, plane, ash, and carpinus typically wind down well before midsummer. With grass season also past its peak and ragweed not yet in play, this is a relatively quiet window for pollen in the neighborhood.
