On 16 July 2026, Grass is the dominant pollen source in East Orange. oak, willow, alder, ambrosia, artemisia, birch, and cypress are not currently active.

East Orange's northeastern New Jersey urban setting produces a season opening in March with elm and maple before oak peaks through April and May. Grass from surrounding New York and New Jersey land peaks through June and July before mugwort and nettle extend exposure into September. The urban New York metropolitan setting means much pollen is carried in from surrounding greener areas under prevailing westerly winds.

The East Orange pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in East Orange, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
