Pollen count Oxford residents check each morning
The Oxford pollen count today is 16 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 19 today. Weed pollen leads the split at 19 (Low on its own scale), followed by tree pollen at 12 and grass pollen at 2. Below, the plant detail and the multi-day outlook show whether today is the pattern or the exception. Pollen Atlas updated this count on Saturday, November 7, 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 weed pollen or mold, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Oxford page.
Fall is ragweed season across most of the United States: ragweed plants release pollen from late summer into autumn, and weed pollen is typically the last major outdoor pollen category to fade as the weather cools. That pattern is why an autumn total is so often weed-led even when the headline number is low — tree and grass pollen have usually receded by then, leaving weed pollen, and on damp days mold, to make up most of what the index records.

Oxford allergies today are set by the same reading as the pollen count above: the Total Pollen Index is 16 (Low), driven mainly by Ragweed. When people ask about Oxford allergies, this is the number that answers them — one daily index built from today’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings for Oxford.
Allergies in Oxford follow the Alabama 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 Oxford 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 Oxford allergy forecast: today reads 16 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Oxford 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 Oxford today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.
The Oxford allergy count today is 16 (Low) — the same Total Pollen Index as the pollen count above, in one combined reading.

Pollen by type in Oxford
What is driving Oxford’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 16 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 19 (Low on its own scale) — about 58% of the four category readings added together, 7 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 12. 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 is the Alabama calendar working as expected — November falls in the closing weeks of the state’s weed chapter.
Plant-level detail is not in today’s feed for Oxford, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Alabama guide’s account of Alabama names oak and hickory, peaking through spring, over a late-winter cedar and juniper opening — 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 14 to 16, never changing band. Today’s 16 sits 2 points above the window’s average of 14.4 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.
Plants affecting Oxford now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Oxford 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 12 (Low).
Grass pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 2 (Low).
Weed pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 19 (Low).
In the Southeast pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are spring trees, warm-season grasses and late-summer ragweed — named here as regional context only, not as today\u2019s measurements.
Plant detail returns here automatically on any day the source data includes it.

Oxford pollen through the year
Three chapters make the Alabama pollen year, and Oxford follows them in the Southeast order. The tree chapter: trees can start as early as February and peak in April. The grass chapter: grasses follow in May and run through the summer. The weed chapter: ragweed runs from mid-August to the first frost. Mold is the quiet fourth player, sustained by river-valley humidity between the pollen waves.
Alabama’s season is among the longest in the country: tree pollen can start in January on the Gulf Coast, and ragweed can run into October or November before frost ends it. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America has placed Birmingham in its national Allergy Capitals rankings, a measure of pollen, medicine use and specialist access combined. The Alabama guide singles out oak and hickory, peaking through spring, over a late-winter cedar and juniper opening.
November in Oxford sits inside the weed chapter of the Alabama year, in its closing weeks — the part of the calendar today’s readings should be judged against. Between them, the three chapters cover 10 months of the Alabama year, February to November — a long season by national standards, with only a short quiet gap. The full calendar is set out in the Alabama allergy season guide.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Oxford 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 Oxford, AL 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.
Oxford in today’s national picture
At 16 (Low), Oxford ranks joint 65321st of the 90896 cities Pollen Atlas tracks today — in the middle of the national table. The highest reading in the country today is Beja, Portugal at 52, and the lowest is Los Ángeles de San Rafael, Spain at 5. The whole table spans 47 points today — a wide-open day, when the top and bottom of the table are effectively in different seasons.
Around Oxford: Hobson City, AL (2 miles away) reads 16 (Low); West End-Cobb Town, AL (4 miles away) reads 15 (Low); Anniston, AL (6 miles away) reads 15 (Low). Oxford reads exactly level with its nearest tracked neighbour today. Across Alabama’s 592 tracked cities, today runs from 13 in Waterloo to 29 in Moores Mill.
Pollen totals are population numbers; symptoms are personal. The same reading can leave one Oxford resident untouched and floor another, depending on which pollens they are sensitised to. If this pattern finds you every ragweed season, allergists in Oxford, AL 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.
