Moderate Pollen in Sheepshead Bay, NY

About pollen in Sheepshead Bay

Grass pollen is the main player in Sheepshead Bay today, sitting at a Low level on the index and accounting for the overall Low reading. Tree pollen has dropped off to none, with the season's usual contributors like Linden, Pyrus, Plane, Liriodendron, and Mulberry now past their springtime activity. The five-day forecast holds grass steady at Low throughout, so expect little change in the days ahead. This pattern fits the calendar, as late spring and early summer typically mark the stretch when grass pollen is the dominant source. Weed pollen has no data to report at this time and generally stays quiet until ragweed picks up later in summer and fall.
