Very Low Pollen in Richmond Hill, NY

About pollen in Richmond Hill

Pollen levels across Richmond Hill are quiet today. Tree pollen is absent, and grass pollen is running very low, so most people should notice little to no effect even if they tend to be sensitive. Overall, this is an easy day for anyone who typically deals with seasonal allergies. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to hold steady over the next stretch, with tree pollen staying flat and grass pollen remaining at a similarly low level. This lines up with the season, as the spring push from trees like Plane, Maple, Pyrus, Linden, and Oak has long since passed, and grasses are now tapering off after their late-spring and early-summer peak. Ragweed season is still a ways off, so for now the air remains largely calm for allergy sufferers.
