Pollen in Newton, MA

About pollen in Newton

Pollen levels in Newton are quiet today, with tree pollen sitting at essentially none. Anyone sensitive to oak, maple, Zelkova, Koelreuteria, or Prunus pollen should find little to react to, making this a comfortable day to spend time outdoors without much concern about airborne allergens. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to remain calm over the next several days, with tree pollen staying at the bottom of the scale. This fits the season well, since mid-November falls well outside the active growing period for these trees, all of which typically release pollen in spring rather than late fall. Barring any unusual weather patterns, allergy sufferers can expect this low-pollen stretch to continue for now.

What to do today

• Pollen is minimal today, so it's a great time to be outside.
