Very Low Pollen in Gravesend, NY

About pollen in Gravesend

Pollen levels in Gravesend are quite mild today. Both tree and weed pollen are running very low, so most people should be able to go about their outdoor plans without much irritation. If you tend to be sensitive, you might notice a very slight presence, but overall conditions are calm. Looking ahead, this pattern is expected to hold steady over the next several days, with both tree and weed pollen staying low. This lull makes sense for mid-August: the spring rush from trees like elm, plane, cercis, oak, and prunus finished months ago, and while ragweed and other late-summer weeds are beginning their season, activity in this area remains subdued for now. Enjoy the easy stretch while it lasts.
