Low Pollen in Quincy, MA

About pollen in Quincy

Pollen levels in Quincy remain calm today. Tree pollen is running low, with contributions from species like ash, oak, maple, plane, and honeylocust, though at this time of year their release has largely wound down. Weeds are barely registering, sitting at a very low level. Overall, most people should notice little to no irritation, and those with sensitivities are unlikely to be significantly affected. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to stay mild through the next several days, with tree pollen easing slightly further and weed levels holding steady at a low point. This lull fits the seasonal pattern: the heavier tree pollen surge of spring has long passed, grass season has wound down, and the more active weed period—typically driven by ragweed—usually builds later in the season. For now, air quality with respect to pollen looks quiet and should stay that way in the near term.
