Very Low Pollen in Jersey City, NJ

About pollen in Jersey City

Pollen levels in Jersey City are quite low today, with both tree and weed sources barely registering. Neither is likely to cause much trouble, even for those who usually react strongly to airborne pollen this time of year. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at a low level over the next several days, with no significant change on the horizon. This fits the seasonal pattern, as weed pollen such as ragweed is now winding down from its late-summer and early-fall peak. Tree pollen, meanwhile, remains quiet, which is typical for mid-October — local trees like oak, zelkova, honeylocust, ginkgo, and linden have already finished their active pollen season and won't ramp up again until spring. Overall, this is a calm stretch for allergy sufferers in the area.
