The High Pollen Count

Here is today's pollen count from UMDNJ in Newark;

Pollen Grains per cubic meter


TREES 0

GRASSES 76 HIGH

WEEDS 24 MODERATE

SPORES 12,137 HIGH

RAGWEED 57 HIGH

In fact. today's count is always yesterday's, as the count reflects exposure over the last 24hr. Not surprisingly weeds and ragweed in particular are high, as well as molds - which have been very high for most of the summer.  It's surprising that grass is still high - this is probably a carry over from all the rain we have been having. we will see if this persists tomorrow.  Follow the pollen count at your favorite website or in the newspaper.
