Pollen in Chinatown, NY

About pollen in Chinatown

Pollen levels in Chinatown are quiet today, with tree pollen essentially absent from the air. Anyone sensitive to allergens should find little to react to, making this a comfortable stretch for outdoor plans in the neighborhood. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to remain at this same low point over the next few days, so no significant change is on the horizon. This tracks with the season — trees like Styphnolobium, Linden, Elm, Zelkova, and Oak have already released their spring pollen, and by midsummer their contribution has largely wound down. With grass season winding down as well and ragweed still weeks away, this is a relatively calm period for pollen overall.
