Allergies in Red Deer 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 Red Deer 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.

What is driving Red Deer’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 14 (Low) is set by grass pollen at 18 (Low on its own scale) — about 94% of the four category readings added together, 17.4 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 Red Deer, 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 14 to 14, never changing band. Today’s 14 sits level with the window’s average of 14 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Red Deer pollen through the year

The Red Deer pollen year runs in chapters, set by the South-Central Plains pattern and the Alberta calendar. Trees come first: river-corridor trees open from February — elm and maple first, then oak and hickory. Grasses take the middle of the year: prairie grasses take over in late May and hold the summer. Weeds close it out: 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 Red Deer — 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 Red Deer pollen count rankings and Red Deer on the pollen heatmap.

How to read this index

Pollen Atlas reports the Red Deer 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.
