Low Pollen in Elmhurst, NY

About pollen in Elmhurst

Pollen levels in Elmhurst are moderate today, with both tree and grass pollen registering a 3 on the index. Grass is the type to watch heading into early summer, and the forecast shows it easing slightly, slipping from moderate today to a lower reading over the next few days. Tree contributions from species like Ash, Plane, Maple, Oak, and Birch tend to fade by late June, so the spring tree peak is now well behind us. This is a typical pattern for the season, when grass takes over as the main driver while ragweed remains a concern for later in the summer. No weed pollen data is available for today.
