Low Pollen in Sunset Park, NY

About pollen in Sunset Park

Both tree and grass pollen are sitting at moderate levels in Sunset Park today, pushing the overall index to a moderate 3. Grass is the main story heading into the holiday stretch, with the forecast showing it easing from moderate today to a low-to-moderate level over the next several days. Tree pollen remains moderate as well, with the usual late-season contributors like oak, plane, maple, and the cypress-family Taxodium and Metasequoia still in the mix. This timing fits the season, as grass pollen typically runs strong through late spring and early summer while the spring tree peak winds down. There's no current data for weeds, but ragweed generally doesn't ramp up until later in the summer and into fall. Expect a gradual softening in grass counts if the forecast holds.
