Very Low Pollen in Sheepshead Bay, NY

About pollen in Sheepshead Bay

Pollen levels in Sheepshead Bay are quiet today, with both tree and weed sources registering at the low end of the scale. Neither is likely to cause much trouble, even for those who tend to be sensitive, making it a comfortable day to spend time outdoors without much concern about allergy flare-ups. Looking ahead, the next several days should bring more of the same, with tree and weed pollen expected to hold steady at these low levels. This lull fits the season well: the spring flush from trees like Pyrus, Linden, Plane, Liriodendron, and Mulberry has long since passed, and while late summer typically brings a rise in weed pollen such as ragweed, no such increase is showing up in the forecast just yet. For now, conditions remain mild and easy to manage.
