Very Low Pollen in Quincy, MA

About pollen in Quincy

Tree pollen is the only type registering in Quincy today, and it remains at a very low level. Most residents, including those with sensitivities, should notice little to no irritation from ash, oak, maple, plane, or honeylocust trees at this point in the season. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to stay quiet over the next several days, holding steady at this same low level. This fits the seasonal pattern, since local trees typically release their heaviest pollen in spring, and by midsummer that activity has largely wound down. For now, outdoor conditions in Quincy look calm from a pollen standpoint.

What to do today

• Pollen is low today, so it's a good day for outdoor activities.
• If you're sensitive, rinsing off after time outside still helps.
