Pollen in New York City, NY

About pollen in New York City

Pollen counts across New York City are quiet today, with tree pollen sitting at essentially none. Anyone sensitive to airborne allergens should find little to react to outdoors right now, making it a comfortable day for spending time outside without much concern about pollen-related irritation. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to remain calm, with tree pollen staying negligible over the next few days. This tracks with the season, as trees like honeylocust, ginkgo, and pyrus typically release their pollen earlier in the year and have long since wound down. With midsummer underway, ragweed and other late-season pollen sources have not yet come into play, so allergy sufferers can expect a relatively easy stretch in the near term.
