Very Low Pollen in The Bronx, NY

About pollen in The Bronx

Pollen levels across the Bronx remain quiet today. Tree pollen is present but at a very low level, meaning most people should not notice any effect even if they are typically sensitive to species like oak, maple, or zelkova. Overall, this is a low-impact day for outdoor activity as far as pollen is concerned. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to hold steady at this same low level over the next stretch of days, with no significant changes on the horizon. This lull fits the season well: the heavier tree pollen releases from trees like oak and maple typically wind down after spring, and with midsummer underway, grass pollen has largely passed its peak while ragweed season is still weeks away. For now, the Bronx can expect a calm pollen picture with little cause for concern.

What to do today

• Pollen is low today, so it's a good day for outdoor activities.
• If you're sensitive, rinsing off after time outside still helps.
