Pollen in Buffalo, NY

About pollen in Buffalo

Pollen counts in Buffalo are quiet today, with tree pollen registering essentially at zero. Anyone who typically reacts to trees like linden, horse chestnut (Aesculus), pine, oak, or maple should find little to no irritation in the air right now, making it a comfortable day for spending time outdoors. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to stay at this low level through the next stretch of days, so no significant changes are on the horizon. This fits with the season, since the main tree pollen period runs in spring and has largely wound down by midsummer. With grass season typically active this time of year and ragweed still a couple of months off, it's worth keeping an eye on how those categories develop as summer progresses.

What to do today

• Pollen is minimal today, so it's a great time to be outside.
