About pollen in Toms River

Grass pollen is the main driver in Toms River today, sitting at a moderate level (3 on the 0–5 scale) and matching the overall moderate index. The forecast holds grass steady at moderate for the next couple of days before easing to the lower end of moderate (2) through the rest of the five-day window. This fits the late-spring-into-early-summer pattern, when grasses typically take over as the dominant pollen source. Tree pollen, which peaks earlier in spring, isn't reported in today's data, and weed pollen such as ragweed generally doesn't ramp up until late summer and fall. Expect conditions to remain steady to slightly easing over the coming days.
