Low Pollen in Astoria, NY

About pollen in Astoria

Tree pollen is the only type registering in Astoria today, and it remains at a low level. Most people should be able to move through the day without much irritation, though those who are especially sensitive to species like plane, oak, or ash trees might notice mild symptoms if spending extended time outdoors. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to hold steady over the next few days, with tree pollen staying in that same low range. This is a bit unusual for midsummer, as tree pollen typically winds down well before now, giving way to grasses and eventually ragweed later in the season. For the moment, though, allergy sufferers in the area are getting something of a reprieve, with no single pollen type causing significant trouble.
