Pollen forecast for New York City

Check out the pollen forecast in New York City for the next few days. We’re all about days when the pollen count is so low, it’s easy to say yes to walking through Central Park or playing chess at Washington Square Park. When pollen counts are higher than the High Line, pack Kleenex On-the-Go, so you can stay prepared for allergies, wherever you are.

Pollen hotspots in New York City

From January through May, tree pollen raises pollen counts to some of their highest levels. After that, pollen levels remain fairly low from June through the rest of the year and even from August through October, when pollen from weeds causes a slight uptick in pollen counts. (So hopefully you can do some ice skating at Winter Village, sniffle-free.) When pollen counts are higher than the Empire State Building, you might want to steer clear of parks and grassy areas if you want to keep seasonal allergies at bay. Thankfully, the Big Apple has a ton of activities that help you avoid pollen, so you can rest easy knowing that you can get the most out of the City that Never Sleeps—even during allergy season.
