Pollen count Selmont-West Selmont residents check each morning
The Selmont-West Selmont pollen count today is 17 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 18 today. Tree pollen is the highest single category in the split at 19 (Low), ahead of weed pollen at 18 and grass pollen at 3. 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 tree pollen, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Selmont-West Selmont 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.

Pollen by type in Selmont-West Selmont
What is driving Selmont-West Selmont’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 17 (Low) is set by tree pollen at 19 (Low on its own scale) — about 48% of the four category readings added together, 1 points clear of the next category, weed pollen at 18. Tree readings are the fastest-moving of the four in their season, because species pollinate in sequence — a tree-led total can change character within a week. Tree pollen leading in November runs against the usual calendar — the Alabama tree chapter runs February to May — 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 Selmont-West Selmont, 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 17, never changing band. Today’s 17 sits 2 points above the window’s average of 15.4 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Selmont-West Selmont pollen through the year
Three chapters make the Alabama pollen year, and Selmont-West Selmont 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 Selmont-West Selmont 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 Selmont-West Selmont 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 Selmont-West Selmont, 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.
