Very Low Pollen in Flatbush, NY

About pollen in Flatbush

Pollen levels in Flatbush are quiet today. Tree pollen is absent entirely, and weed pollen is registering at only a very low level, so most people should notice little to no effect from either source. Overall, this is a comfortable day for anyone who typically deals with seasonal allergy symptoms. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to tick up slightly over the next couple of days before settling back down, though it should remain in the low-to-moderate range rather than becoming a significant concern. This lines up with the typical late-September pattern, when ragweed and other weeds are the main allergen of note as the season winds down. Tree pollen, meanwhile, is not a factor right now — local trees like oak, elm, and honeylocust are well past their spring peak and won't become active again until next year.
