NY pollen report
Syracuse Pollen Report
Syracuse sits in the lake-effect belt of upstate New York — famous for snow, and for a compressed but intense allergy season when it ends. Birch and oak bury the city each May, grasses carry June and July, and ragweed fills the fall until the first frost. The region's lakes keep the growing season humid and the mold season long.

What drives allergies in Syracuse
Trees: birch, oak, and maple (April – June)
Birch (Betula) — among the most allergenic trees in the Northeast — joins oak (Quercus) and maple across the region's dense forests. May is the peak.
Grasses: Timothy and bluegrass (June – July)
Timothy grass (Phleum pratense) and lawn grasses pollinate heavily in early summer.
Weeds: ragweed (August – frost)
Ragweed (Ambrosia) thrives along field edges and roadsides, with counts elevated until a hard frost.
Mold: lake-fed humidity
Lake Ontario moisture keeps Alternaria and Cladosporium active through summer, with spikes as leaves fall in autumn.
Pollen patterns in Syracuse
In Syracuse, tree pollen — including Birch, Oak, Maple — typically dominates from late winter through spring. Timothy grass is the most common warm-season pollinator, and Ragweed drives the largest fall pollen load.
