Pollen count Edmonton residents check each morning
The Edmonton pollen count today is 9 (Low). No single plant stands out in today’s readings; the Grass category is the one the index is led by. The full split is tree pollen 0.6, grass pollen 12, weed pollen 0.6. Below, the plant detail and the multi-day outlook show whether today is the pattern or the exception. Pollen Atlas updated this count on Friday, November 6, 2026.
A Low band on the Pollen Atlas index means the Total Pollen Index has stayed in the lower part of the 0–100 scale. Readings in this band are built from low individual category values rather than from one large spike, and the category split above matters more than the headline number: a low total can still contain one category, such as grass pollen, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Edmonton page.
Outside its main late-spring and early-summer window, grass pollen usually appears as a small background value rather than the driver of the total. A low grass reading alongside a higher weed or mold value is a typical off-peak pattern. Grass should be read from its own value on this page, not assumed from the calendar: the index reports today’s modelled value, and the modelled value outranks any general seasonal expectation.
To see whether today’s pollen level holds, check the 5-day Edmonton pollen forecast below — it is currently mixed, with Friday the highest day in the window.
This is the pollen count Edmonton residents check each morning, built from the day’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings.

Edmonton allergies today
Edmonton allergies today are set by the same reading as the pollen count above: the Total Pollen Index is 9 (Low), driven mainly by Grass. When people ask about Edmonton allergies, this is the number that answers them — one daily index built from today’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings for Edmonton.
Allergies in Edmonton follow the Alberta calendar set out below — the chapters, the plants behind them, and the 5-day forecast on this page show whether today is typical for the season or an exception to it. If you are checking allergies today in Edmonton before heading outdoors, the split at the top of this page is the part to read: it shows which pollen is doing the work today, not just how high the total sits.
Read the five-day table on this page as the Edmonton allergy forecast: today reads 9 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Edmonton allergies are set to ease or build across the week — the days to plan outdoor time around are the ones where the index steps down, not just today.
In practice, the allergy count Edmonton today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.
The Edmonton allergy count today is 9 (Low) — the same Total Pollen Index as the pollen count above, in one combined reading.

Pollen by type in Edmonton
What is driving Edmonton’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 9 (Low) is set by grass pollen at 12 (Low on its own scale) — about 91% of the four category readings added together, 11.4 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 0.6. Grass-led totals tend to hold a level for days at a time rather than spike and clear, because grasses pollinate over an extended period. Grass pollen leading in November runs against the usual calendar — the Alberta grass chapter runs May to August — 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 Edmonton, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above — it shows how much of today’s total each category is actually carrying, and plant detail returns here automatically on any day the feed includes it.
Across the five-day window the Total Pollen Index runs from 8 to 9, never changing band. Today’s 9 sits 0 points above the window’s average of 8.8 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.
Plants affecting Edmonton now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Edmonton were not returned in today\u2019s source data, so this section summarises the pollen types the index above is built from instead of listing individual plants.
Tree pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 0.6 (Low).
Grass pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 12 (Low).
Weed pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 0.6 (Low).
In the South-Central Plains pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are spring trees, prairie grasses and late-summer ragweed — named here as regional context only, not as today\u2019s measurements.

Edmonton pollen through the year
Three chapters make the Alberta pollen year, and Edmonton follows them in the South-Central Plains order. The tree chapter: river-corridor trees open from February — elm and maple first, then oak and hickory. The grass chapter: prairie grasses take over in late May and hold the summer. The weed chapter: ragweed builds from mid-August to the first hard frost, carried county to county by plains wind. Mold shares the long middle of the year, fed by river-bottom humidity.
No Alberta allergy season guide is published yet, so this page does not single out signature pollens for Edmonton — the calendar above is the South-Central Plains regional pattern, and the plant detail on this page names what today’s feed actually records.
November falls between the main chapters of the Alberta 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 9 months of the Alberta year, February to October — leaving a quiet gap of roughly 3 months in the depth of the off-season. No Alberta allergy season guide is published yet — this calendar follows the South-Central Plains regional pattern. See Edmonton pollen count rankings and Edmonton on the pollen heatmap.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Edmonton 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 whatever the month. 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.
Edmonton in today’s US & Canada picture
At 9 (Low), Edmonton ranks joint 80103rd of the 90896 cities Pollen Atlas tracks today — in the middle of the combined US & Canada table. The highest reading on the combined table today is Serpa, Portugal at 53, and the lowest is Galiakberovo, Russia at 5. The whole table spans 48 points today — a wide-open day, when the top and bottom of the table are effectively in different seasons.

Pollen totals are population numbers; symptoms are personal. The same reading can leave one Edmonton resident untouched and floor another, depending on which pollens they are sensitised to. If this pattern finds you every season, allergists in Edmonton, AB can test whether tree, grass, weed or mold is the category that matters for you — the four readings at the top of this page are the starting point for that conversation.
