Very Low Pollen in The Bronx, NY

About pollen in The Bronx

Tree pollen is the only type registering in the Bronx today, and the level is very low. Most people, including those with sensitivities, should notice little to no effect from it. Overall, this is a quiet day for pollen across the city. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to hold at this same low level through the next several days, so no significant change is on the horizon. This lines up with what's typical for mid-November, as local trees like oak, maple, honeylocust, Styphnolobium, and zelkova have long since finished releasing pollen for the season and won't become active again until closer to spring.

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.
