About pollen in Newark
Weed pollen is the only type active in Newark today, and it remains at a low level. Most people should get through the day without much irritation, though those who are especially sensitive to ragweed, a common fall weed, may notice mild symptoms during outdoor activities. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to ease slightly over the next several days, settling into a consistently low range through the rest of the week. This fits the seasonal pattern for early October, as ragweed season winds down and overall pollen activity tapers off before winter. Tree pollen from species like oak and maple remains dormant this time of year and won't become a factor again until spring.
