Low Pollen in The Bronx, NY

About pollen in The Bronx

Weed pollen is the only real presence in the Bronx today, and it's running low. Tree pollen is absent entirely, so anyone sensitive to weeds may notice mild symptoms, but overall this is an easy day for most allergy sufferers. Looking ahead, weed levels should hold steady at this same low level for the next several days before easing slightly toward the end of the stretch. This tracks with the season, as ragweed and other late-season weeds are winding down their run through early fall. Tree pollen from species like oak, elm, and honeylocust remains dormant now and won't become a factor again until spring, so there's little to watch for on that front in the near term.
