Pollen count Pinal residents check each morning

The Pinal pollen count today is 16 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 18 today. Tree pollen is the highest single category in the split at 18 (Low), ahead of weed pollen at 18 and grass pollen at 1. 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 tree pollen, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Pinal page.

Desert Southwest pollen does not follow a single national calendar. Arid conditions limit some pollen types for much of the year, while irrigated urban landscaping introduces trees and grasses that would not otherwise grow in the desert, and wind can move pollen across an open landscape efficiently. Readings in this region in particular should be judged against their own split and their own recent days, not against humid-region expectations: a low total here reflects today’s modelled categories, whatever the month.

This is the pollen count Pinal residents check each morning, built from the day’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings.

Allergies in Pinal follow the Arizona 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 Pinal 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 Pinal allergy forecast: today reads 16 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Pinal 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 Pinal today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.

Pollen by type in Pinal

What is driving Pinal’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 16 (Low) is set by tree pollen at 18 (Low on its own scale) — about 49% of the four category readings added together, level with 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 Arizona tree chapter runs January 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 Pinal, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Arizona guide’s account of Arizona names mulberry, ash and olive — planted trees, not wild desert flora — 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 16 to 18, never changing band. Today’s 16 sits 0 points below the window’s average of 16.4 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Plants affecting Pinal now

Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Pinal 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.

Pinal pollen through the year

Three chapters make the Arizona pollen year, and Pinal follows them in the Desert Southwest order. The tree chapter: planted trees open in winter — the juniper family and ash first, mulberry at the heart of spring. The grass chapter: irrigated Bermuda grass runs long rather than intense, across much of the warm season. The weed chapter: a final weed wave follows the monsoon rains into fall, with monsoon mold in the same weeks.

Arizona’s season arrives in waves shaped by desert botany and desert weather, with a midsummer heat lull and a mold bump when the monsoon breaks. Phoenix and Tucson often peak weeks apart: Tucson sits at roughly 2,400 feet against Phoenix’s 1,100, and its cooler nights delay its tree wave by a matter of weeks. The Arizona guide singles out mulberry, ash and olive — planted trees, not wild desert flora.

November in Pinal sits in the overlap of the grass and weed chapters of the Arizona year — overlap weeks, when two chapters feed the same total and the split matters more than the headline. Between them, the three chapters cover 11 months of the Arizona year, January to November — a long season by national standards, with only a short quiet gap. The full calendar is set out in the Arizona allergy season guide.

How to read this index

Pollen Atlas reports the Pinal 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.
