Moderate Pollen in Yonkers, NY

About pollen in Yonkers

Pollen levels in Yonkers are moderate today, with both trees and weeds contributing about equally. Sensitive individuals will likely notice some effects, particularly outdoors during midday hours, though most people should be able to go about their usual routines without much disruption. Weed pollen is expected to hold steady at a moderate level through the next several days, so anyone sensitive to ragweed and similar late-season weeds should plan for continued exposure into the week ahead. Tree pollen data for the coming days is limited, but this time of year typically sees lingering contributions from trees like oak, ash, and maple as they wind down for the season, alongside plane and liquidambar. Overall, autumn's mix of fading tree pollen and persistent weed activity is the main story right now, with grass pollen no longer a factor this late in the year.

What to do today
