IQAir’s New York forecast shows tree, grass and weed pollen all in the low range, signaling minimal risk for most allergy sufferers for now.
Grass pollen is starting to climb with early summer approaching, a seasonal shift that typically makes grasses the region’s dominant allergen after spring tree pollen.
Morning outdoor exposure, open windows and pollen carried on skin or clothing can still worsen symptoms even at lower counts, especially as weather and wind change daily.
Health experts advise tracking daily forecasts, keeping windows closed, using air filtration, and showering after time outside as grass pollen is expected to rise through June.
