Very Low Pollen in The Bronx, NY

About pollen in The Bronx

Pollen levels across the Bronx remain quiet today. Tree pollen is absent, and weed pollen is registering only very low levels, the kind that most people won't notice at all. Overall, this is a low-impact day for allergy sufferers, with little to cause irritation outdoors. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at these very low levels through the next several days, so no significant change is on the horizon. This lull fits the season — tree pollen from species like oak, elm, and honeylocust typically peaks back in spring, and with autumn underway, those trees are dormant. Any lingering weed pollen, a holdover from the late-summer ragweed season, is winding down as cooler weather sets in.
