Very Low Pollen in Buffalo, NY

About pollen in Buffalo

Pollen levels across Buffalo are very low today, with both tree and grass pollen sitting at the bottom of the index. Neither category is elevated, so there's no single driver pushing counts upward right now. The five-day outlook holds steady, with tree and grass pollen expected to stay very low throughout. By late June, the spring tree season for species like maple, oak, and birch has largely wound down, which fits the minimal tree readings we're seeing. Grass pollen, typically more active in late spring and early summer, also remains quiet at this point. Weed pollen data isn't available, but ragweed generally doesn't ramp up until later in the summer.
