Pollen in Upper West Side, NY

About pollen in Upper West Side

Pollen counts on the Upper West Side are quiet today. Tree pollen is essentially absent, and there is no meaningful grass or weed activity to report either. For most residents, today should bring little to no pollen-related discomfort, even for those who are typically sensitive. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to remain flat over the next several days, so no significant change is on the horizon in the near term. This tracks with the season: the spring push from trees like oak, linden, honeylocust, pyrus, and elm has long since passed, and we haven't yet reached the late-summer window when ragweed typically becomes the main concern. For now, conditions remain calm across the board.

What to do today

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