Pollen count Gilbert residents check each morning

The Gilbert pollen count today is 13 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 17 today. The full split is tree pollen 0.6, grass pollen 2, weed pollen 17. The sections below break that headline number down by plant, by day and by what the band means in practice. 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 weed pollen or mold, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Gilbert 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.

Gilbert allergies today

Gilbert allergies today are set by the same reading as the pollen count above: the Total Pollen Index is 13 (Low), driven mainly by Ragweed. When people ask about Gilbert allergies, this is the number that answers them — one daily index built from today’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings for Gilbert.

Allergies in Gilbert follow the Arkansas 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 Gilbert 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 Gilbert allergy forecast: today reads 13 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Gilbert 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 Gilbert today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.

The Gilbert allergy count today is 13 (Low) — the same Total Pollen Index as the pollen count above, in one combined reading.

Pollen by type in Gilbert

What is driving Gilbert’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 13 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 17 (Low on its own scale) — about 87% of the four category readings added together, 15 points clear of the next category, grass pollen at 2. 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 Arkansas 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 Gilbert, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Arkansas guide’s account of Arkansas names eastern redcedar — a juniper — in late winter, then oak and hickory through spring — 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 12 to 13, never changing band. Today’s 13 sits 1 point above the window’s average of 12.2 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Plants affecting Gilbert now

Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Gilbert 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.

Gilbert pollen through the year

The Gilbert pollen year runs in chapters, set by the Southeast pattern and the Arkansas calendar. Trees come first: trees can start as early as February and peak in April. Grasses take the middle of the year: grasses follow in May and run through the summer. Weeds close it out: ragweed runs from mid-August to the first frost. Mold is the quiet fourth player, sustained by river-valley humidity between the pollen waves.

The Arkansas allergy season guide names eastern redcedar — a juniper — in late winter, then oak and hickory through spring. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America’s 2025 Allergy Capitals list placed Little Rock sixth in the nation and Fayetteville also in the top forty, on pollen, medicine use and specialist measures combined. The state’s certified counting stations sit in Little Rock and Fort Smith, and they record the state’s signature double peak — a hardwood spring and a ragweed fall.

November in Gilbert sits inside the weed chapter of the Arkansas 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 Arkansas year, February to November — a long season by national standards, with only a short quiet gap. The full calendar is set out in the Arkansas allergy season guide.

How to read this index

Pollen Atlas reports the Gilbert 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 Gilbert, AR 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.

Pollen totals are population numbers; symptoms are personal. The same reading can leave one Gilbert resident untouched and floor another, depending on which pollens they are sensitised to. If this pattern finds you every ragweed season, allergists in Gilbert, AR 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.
