Moderate Pollen in Yonkers, NY

About pollen in Yonkers

Weed pollen is the main story in Yonkers today, sitting at a moderate level that sensitive individuals will likely notice. Tree pollen, by contrast, is quiet, registering low and unlikely to cause much trouble for most people. Looking ahead, this pattern should hold steady over the next several days: tree pollen will stay in the low range, while weed pollen continues to hover around moderate, with a slight dip midweek before ticking back up. This lines up with the season, as late summer typically brings weeds like ragweed to the forefront while trees such as carpinus, amelanchier, magnolia, zelkova, and prunus have largely finished their pollen release for the year. Anyone particularly sensitive to weed pollen may want to keep that in mind as the pattern continues into the coming days.
