Moderate Pollen in Yonkers, NY

About pollen in Yonkers

Tree pollen is the main source of irritation in Yonkers today, registering at a moderate level. Species such as plane, maple, oak, ash, and liquidambar are contributing to the count, and those with sensitivities may notice some mild symptoms, particularly with extended time outdoors. Weed pollen is present as well, though at a low level that should pose little concern for most people. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to ease gradually over the next few days, settling into a quieter pattern through the end of the week. This is a somewhat unusual time for tree pollen to be active, since most trees typically release their pollen in spring rather than mid-autumn, but some species can produce a secondary, lighter round of pollen this time of year. Overall, conditions should remain manageable, with weeds fading into the background as the season moves toward its typical autumn lull.

What to do today

• Pollen is moderate today; sensitive people should limit long stretches outdoors, especially in the afternoon.
• Shower and change clothes after spending time outside.
• Keep windows closed during the highest-pollen hours.
