Very Low Pollen in Staten Island, NY

About pollen in Staten Island

Pollen levels around Staten Island are quiet today. Tree pollen is absent entirely, and grass pollen is registering at a very low level, so most people should be able to go about their outdoor plans without much irritation. Even those with sensitivities to grass are unlikely to notice much of an effect under these conditions. Looking ahead, this calm stretch should hold steady through the next several days, with grass pollen staying low and tree pollen remaining out of the picture. This lines up with the season: local trees such as liquidambar, honeylocust, linden, pyrus, and zelkova have already finished their spring release, and grass, while active in early summer, is producing only light amounts right now. Overall, it is a good stretch for anyone who typically struggles with pollen this time of year.
