Pollen in Queens, NY

About pollen in Queens

Pollen counts across Queens are quiet today, with tree pollen sitting at none and nothing of note stirring in the air. Anyone sensitive to seasonal allergies should find the day comfortable, with little to no irritation expected from pollen. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to stay calm over the next several days, which fits the time of year. Mid-November falls well outside the active growing season for local trees like plane, maple, ash, prunus, and zelkova, all of which typically release their pollen in spring. With grass season long past and ragweed season winding down for the fall, this is a naturally low point in the pollen calendar, and that pattern should continue in the near term.

What to do today

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