Pollen in Providence, RI

About pollen in Providence

Pollen levels in Providence are quiet today, with tree pollen essentially absent and nothing of note in the air. Anyone who typically deals with seasonal allergies should find little to react to, making this a comfortable day for spending time outdoors. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to remain minimal in the near term, which lines up with the season. Local trees such as Pyrus, maple, honeylocust, plane, and ash release most of their pollen in spring, so their activity naturally quiets down by early fall. At this point in the year, any lingering allergy symptoms are more likely tied to ragweed or other late-season weeds rather than trees.

What to do today

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