Pollen in The Bronx, NY

About pollen in The Bronx

Pollen levels across the Bronx are quiet today, with tree pollen sitting at essentially none. Anyone sensitive to airborne allergens should find the air comfortable, with little chance of irritation from trees such as oak, elm, or honeylocust, all of which have long since finished their spring release. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to stay calm for the next several days, with only a slight uptick in tree pollen possible by the end of the stretch. This lines up with the season, since the main tree pollen period wrapped up months ago, and the Bronx is now in a lull before ragweed and other late-summer weeds typically start to stir in the coming weeks.
