Pollen in Amherst, NY

About pollen in Amherst

Pollen is essentially quiet across Amherst today, with tree pollen sitting at none. There is nothing in the air at this point that should cause concern for those who typically react to seasonal pollen, so it should be a comfortable day on that front. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to remain at none through the next several days, which lines up with what's typical for mid-November. Local trees such as maple, Prunus, Carpinus, Syringa, and honeylocust have long since finished releasing pollen for the year and won't become active again until temperatures warm in spring. For now, the pollen season in the area is effectively dormant, and that pattern should hold through the week.
