Low Pollen in East Harlem, NY

About pollen in East Harlem

Weed pollen is the only real presence in East Harlem today, and it remains on the mild side—low enough that most people should get through the day without much irritation, though those with sensitivities may notice a mild effect outdoors. Tree pollen is absent right now, so there is nothing brewing there to add to the count. Looking ahead, expect this pattern to hold steady over the next several days, with weed pollen staying at a similar low level and tree pollen continuing to sit quiet. This tracks with the season: local trees like Zelkova, Honeylocust, Pyrus, Oak, and Styphnolobium finished their pollen release back in spring and won't stir again until then, while the modest weed presence now fits the tail end of the ragweed season as it winds down heading into autumn.
