Low Pollen in Bushwick, NY

About pollen in Bushwick

Tree pollen is the main contributor to today's count in Bushwick, though it remains at a low level overall. Grass pollen is barely registering, sitting at a very low reading. For most people, today should bring little to no irritation, with only those especially sensitive to tree pollen from species like oak, ash, or plane trees likely to notice any effect. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to hold steady over the next few days, with tree pollen staying low and grass pollen remaining minimal. This is a bit of a lull compared to the spring months, when oak, ash, and Carpinus trees typically drive much higher counts, and it comes before the late-summer rise in weed pollen, particularly ragweed, that tends to affect the area later in the season. For now, outdoor conditions should be manageable for most residents.
