Pollen in Staten Island, NY

About pollen in Staten Island

Pollen levels across Staten Island are quiet today, with tree pollen at essentially none. Anyone sensitive to airborne allergens should find little to react to outdoors right now, making this a comfortable stretch for spending time outside without the usual seasonal irritation. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to stay flat over the next several days, so no significant change is on the horizon. This tracks with the time of year, since local trees like liquidambar, honeylocust, linden, pyrus, and zelkova typically release their pollen earlier in spring and have largely finished their cycle by midsummer. With grass season winding down and ragweed not yet in play, this period offers a bit of a lull before late-summer and fall allergy triggers begin to build.

What to do today

• Pollen is minimal today, so it's a great time to be outside.
