Low Pollen in East New York, NY

About pollen in East New York

Tree pollen edges out weed pollen as the more active type in East New York today, though overall levels remain low. Most people should be able to go about their outdoor plans without much trouble, and those with sensitivities are unlikely to notice more than mild effects. Weed pollen is present but at a very low level, adding little to the day's overall impact. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to tick up slightly over the next several days before easing again, staying in the low range throughout. This lines up with the season: early autumn is typically when ragweed and other late-season weeds linger before tapering off with cooler weather. Tree pollen, meanwhile, is well past its spring peak, when species like oak, birch, and Syringa are most active, so its contribution should stay minimal through this stretch.
