What is driving Sussex’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 17 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 22 (Low on its own scale) — about 95% of the four category readings added together, 21.4 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 0.6. A weed-led total is the classic late-year shape: tree and grass pollen have usually receded, leaving weed pollen — and on damp days mold — to make up most of what the index records. Weed pollen leading in November runs against the usual calendar — the New Jersey weed chapter runs August to October — so today’s lead is the model outranking the pattern, and this page reports the modelled reading first.

Plant-level detail is not in today’s feed for Sussex, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The New Jersey guide’s account of New Jersey names oak, the spring heavyweight statewide, with maple sharing the stage and birch earning a real billing in the northwestern hills — the pollens behind readings of this shape in this state — and the split shows how much of today’s total each category is actually carrying.

Across the five-day window the Total Pollen Index runs from 15 to 17, never changing band. Today’s 17 sits 0 points above the window’s average of 16.6 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Sussex pollen through the year

Chapter by chapter, the Sussex pollen year runs like this:

• Trees open in late March and build to an oak-led peak in May.
• Grasses hold from late May into July.
• Ragweed builds from mid-August, peaks in September, and is ended by the first hard frost.
• Mold tracks the region’s humidity rather than a flowering calendar, and it fills the gaps between chapters.

The New Jersey allergy season guide names oak, the spring heavyweight statewide, with maple sharing the stage and birch earning a real billing in the northwestern hills. North Jersey runs on New York’s clock and South Jersey on Philadelphia’s slightly earlier one, so the state’s two ends can open their springs weeks apart. The Pine Barrens’ pine pollen coats ponds, cars and porches in yellow dust each spring, but pine grains are comparatively weak allergens; the oaks sharing the Barrens’ canopy are its real contribution.

November falls between the main chapters of the New Jersey pollen year — the tail of one and the approach of the next — so the calendar alone explains little today, and the modelled split above carries the story. Between them, the three chapters cover 8 months of the New Jersey year, March to October — a compressed season, which is why its chapters arrive in quick succession. The full calendar is set out in the New Jersey allergy season guide.

How to read this index

Pollen Atlas reports the Sussex pollen count on a Total Pollen Index from 0 to 100, built from separate tree, grass and weed readings. The total is a summary, not an average of the three: a single strong category can lift it, and three quiet categories can hold it down even in a month when Sussex, NJ pollen is usually more active. Index values are a modelled pollen risk index computed by Pollen Atlas from open weather, vegetation and phenology data, calibrated against CDC/NAB season data, with plant detail by the Google Pollen API. The index is a modelled 0–100 scale, not a measured count, and figures update through the day, so a morning and an evening visit to this page can legitimately show different numbers.
