Very Low Pollen in Staten Island, NY

About pollen in Staten Island

Pollen is quiet across Staten Island today. Tree pollen is absent, and weed pollen is sitting at a very low level, so most people should move through the day without any noticeable irritation, even those who tend to be sensitive. Looking ahead, this calm pattern is expected to hold through the next several days, with weed pollen staying low and tree pollen remaining out of the picture. This lines up with the season: local trees like Liquidambar, Honeylocust, Linden, Pyrus, and Zelkova finished releasing pollen months ago, and with autumn underway, weeds such as ragweed are winding down rather than ramping up. Overall, it is a good stretch for anyone who deals with seasonal allergies.
