Moderate Pollen in Elizabeth, NJ

About pollen in Elizabeth

Grass pollen is the main driver in Elizabeth today, sitting at a moderate level (3) and pushing the overall index to moderate. Tree pollen has dropped to very low (1), so the maple, ash, oak, plane, and honeylocust that dominate the spring season are now well past their peak. The five-day grass forecast holds steady at moderate, suggesting little change in the days ahead. This is typical for late June, when grass pollen tends to lead through late spring and early summer. Weed pollen data is unavailable today, but ragweed season generally doesn't ramp up until later in the summer.

What to do today

• It's important to shower and wash your hair after spending a lot of time outdoors.

• If possible, wear glasses instead of contact lenses.
• Did you hang any laundry outside? Now is a good time to hang clothes indoors or use a dryer if possible.
