Low Pollen in Providence, RI

About pollen in Providence

Tree pollen is the only type registering in Providence today, and it's sitting at a low level. Most people should get through the day without much irritation, though those who are especially sensitive to species like ash, maple, or honeylocust might notice a mild effect if they spend extended time outdoors. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to hold steady at this same low level through the next stretch of days. This is a bit of an unusual time for trees to be the dominant category, since their typical peak is in spring, so the readings reflect only scattered late-season activity from trees such as plane and zelkova rather than a broader surge. Overall, conditions look calm and manageable for the near term.
