Local Environmental Conditions
The area around this location in New York is densely built up, with some woodland. Of the trees nearby, oak, plane tree and maple are the ones that matter most for allergies. Among weeds, mugwort and pigweed stand out as local pollen sources. Compared with most places, oak is especially widespread here, which makes it one of the key local allergens.
Tree pollen peaks in late spring, when the weather warms to around 15°C and oak, plane tree and maple are in full flower. Mugwort and pigweed bring a final peak from midsummer into early fall. The oak period in late spring is usually the most intense time of year here. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.

How often is the New York pollen forecast updated?
The New York pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in New York come from nearby or far away?
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.
Are pollen levels in New York based on measurements or forecasts?
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 York, 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.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
