Pollen in Elmhurst, NY

About pollen in Elmhurst

Pollen activity in Elmhurst is essentially quiet today. Tree pollen, the only category with a reading, sits at none, meaning even sensitive individuals should notice little to no irritation from trees like maple, linden, oak, plane, or ginkgo right now. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to stay flat over the next few days, so no meaningful change is anticipated in the near term. This lull fits the season, since local trees typically release most of their pollen in spring and have largely wound down by midsummer. Attention this time of year usually shifts toward grasses and, later, ragweed, so it is worth keeping an eye on those categories as summer progresses.

What to do today
