Pollen in Borough Park, NY

About pollen in Borough Park

Pollen is essentially a non-issue in Borough Park today. Tree pollen is at the bottom of the scale, and there is no indication of any other category stirring either. Anyone who typically reacts to airborne allergens should find the air calm and easy to breathe without much thought given to symptoms. Looking ahead, this quiet stretch should hold steady, with tree pollen expected to stay flat in the near term. That tracks with the season: mid-November is well past the growing period for local trees like oak, maple, plane, and the flowering Prunus and Pyrus varieties, all of which release their pollen in spring rather than late fall. With grass and ragweed seasons also behind us, this is typically one of the calmer windows of the year for allergy sufferers in the area.
