Low Pollen in Astoria, NY

About pollen in Astoria

Pollen levels in Astoria are running low today, with both tree and weed sources present but mild. Weeds are the slightly more noticeable contributor right now, though even sensitive individuals should find conditions manageable. Overall, this is a quiet day for allergies across the board. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to stay in the low range over the next several days, with slight day-to-day fluctuation but no significant spikes. Tree pollen should remain steady and minimal as well. This fits the seasonal pattern for late September, since local trees like plane, oak, honeylocust, ash, and zelkova are well past their spring peak, while ragweed and other late-season weeds are the more typical culprits this time of year, though currently at low levels.
