Pollen in East Harlem, NY

About pollen in East Harlem

Pollen counts across East Harlem are quiet today, with tree pollen essentially absent. Anyone sensitive to seasonal allergies should find little to react to outdoors, as conditions are about as calm as they get. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to remain flat over the next several days, so no significant changes are on the horizon. This tracks with the season: local trees such as zelkova, honeylocust, pyrus, oak, and Japanese pagoda tree (styphnolobium) typically release their pollen in spring, and by midsummer that cycle has largely wound down. Grass pollen can still linger into this stretch of summer for some sensitive individuals, but overall, this is a comparatively easy time of year for tree-related allergies in the city.
