Very Low Pollen in Elizabeth, NJ

About pollen in Elizabeth

Grass pollen is the only real presence in Elizabeth today, sitting at a low level that most people will not notice. Tree pollen is quiet, so anyone sensitive to grass may feel a mild effect outdoors, but overall conditions are easy for most residents to manage. Over the next several days, grass pollen is expected to hold at similarly low levels, dipping slightly before ticking back up by the end of the stretch. Tree pollen should stay absent through the period, which fits the season, since trees like ginkgo, prunus, pyrus, ash, and elm have already finished their spring release. This time of year, grass is typically the main source of pollen, and current conditions reflect that seasonal pattern well.
