New Haven pollen forecast - today, tomorrow and the week ahead

On 13 July 2026, overall pollen levels in New Haven are low. Ambrosia is the main contributor to airborne pollen, while grass remain at lower levels

On 14 July 2026, pollen conditions in New Haven will be different from today, with ambrosia at low levels and grass increasing

According to the five-day outlook, ambrosia and grass pollen levels are expected to gradually decrease, suggesting improving conditions later in the week.

On 13 July 2026, Ambrosia is the dominant pollen source in New Haven. grass are also present but at lower levels. oak, willow, alder, artemisia, birch, and cypress are not currently active.

New Haven's pollen season opens with maple and birch from late February, followed by oak through April and May. Grass pollen peaks through June and July, with ragweed contributing into September. The coastal position on Long Island Sound means onshore winds can periodically disperse pollen, while surrounding Connecticut woodland and farmland contribute substantial tree and grass pollen under prevailing southwesterly winds.

The New Haven pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in New Haven, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
