Low Pollen in Flatbush, NY

About pollen in Flatbush

Grass pollen is the main driver in Flatbush today, sitting at a moderate level (3), while tree pollen has eased to low (2) and overall conditions register as moderate. The forecast points to a gradual decline in grass, holding at moderate tomorrow before settling to low (2) for the remainder of the five-day window. This fits the season: late June favors grass over trees, so the area's familiar Oak, Honeylocust, Plane, Elm, and Zelkova are now well past their spring peak and contributing little. Weed pollen, including ragweed, isn't reported here, though that typically becomes a factor later in summer and into fall. Overall, expect today's moderate grass levels to taper off in the days ahead.
