Pollen in Brooklyn, NY

About pollen in Brooklyn

Pollen counts across Brooklyn are quiet today, with tree pollen sitting at none. Anyone who typically reacts to pollen should get a reprieve, as there is little to nothing in the air to cause irritation right now. This calm stretch should continue over the next several days, with tree pollen expected to remain at virtually nonexistent levels. This lines up with the season: by mid-November, trees such as honeylocust, maple, and pear have long since finished releasing pollen, and the next active bloom from species like Styphnolobium and tulip tree (Liriodendron) won't arrive until spring. For now, outdoor air should stay comfortable for those with seasonal sensitivities.

What to do today

• Pollen is minimal today, so it's a great time to be outside.
• No special pollen precautions are needed right now.
