Pollen in Providence, RI

About pollen in Providence

Pollen counts in Providence are essentially quiet today, with tree pollen sitting at none. Anyone who typically reacts to airborne allergens should find the air calm, with little to no outdoor irritation expected from pollen sources. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to remain settled over the next stretch, with tree pollen staying absent. This lines up with the season: by mid-November, trees such as Pyrus, Maple, Honeylocust, Plane, and Ash have long since finished releasing pollen, and the next active period for these species won't arrive until growth resumes in spring. For now, those sensitive to tree pollen can expect a reprieve.
