Very Low Pollen in Richmond Hill, NY

About pollen in Richmond Hill

Pollen levels in Richmond Hill are quiet today. Tree pollen is absent entirely, and weeds are barely registering, sitting at a very low level. Overall, this is about as calm as conditions get, and most people, even those with sensitivities, should notice little to no effect today. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to stay flat at zero over the next several days, which fits the season since local varieties like Plane, Maple, Pyrus, Linden, and Oak have long finished their spring release. Weed pollen, on the other hand, is likely to edge upward gradually, moving from very low into a more moderate range by midweek. This is typical for early autumn, when ragweed and related weeds tend to linger before tapering off as cooler weather sets in, so those sensitive to weed pollen may want to keep an eye on the shift over the coming days.
