Low Pollen in Sunset Park, NY

About pollen in Sunset Park

Weed pollen is the only type active in Sunset Park today, and it remains at a low level. Most people won't notice much of anything, though those who are especially sensitive to ragweed and other fall weeds may feel a mild effect. Tree pollen is absent right now, which is typical for this point in the season. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at a low level over the next couple of days before easing slightly further by midweek. This pattern fits the time of year, as the heavier tree pollen from species like Liriodendron, Carpinus, Zelkova, Honeylocust, and Eucommia won't return until spring, and ragweed and related weeds are winding down as autumn progresses. Overall, conditions should stay calm and easy to manage through the coming days.
