Low Pollen in Richmond Hill, NY

About pollen in Richmond Hill

Grass is the main player in Richmond Hill today, sitting at a Low level (2) and edging out tree pollen, which has dropped to Very Low (1). The forecast holds steady, with grass expected to remain at that same Low reading through the next five days. This tracks with the season, as the spring surge from trees like Oak, Maple, Plane, Honeylocust, and Birch has largely faded while grass pollen settles into its typical late-spring and early-summer presence. Overall conditions are Low (2) for now, so expect more of the same in the days ahead.
