Very Low Pollen in Rochester, NY

About pollen in Rochester

Pollen levels across Rochester are very low today, with both tree and grass pollen sitting at the bottom of the scale. There's no single driver pushing counts up right now, as overall conditions register as very low. Looking ahead, tree pollen should hold steady at very low through the five-day window, while grass pollen is expected to tick up slightly to low over the next few days before easing back. That modest grass uptick fits the season, since late spring and early summer is typically when grasses are most active. Tree species like Linden, Ash, Oak, Celtis, and Honeylocust are well past their spring peak, which keeps their contribution minimal for now.
