What is driving Sahuarita’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 19 (Low) is set by tree pollen at 21 (Low on its own scale) — about 47% of the four category readings added together, level with weed pollen at 21. 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 Sahuarita, 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 17 to 19, never changing band. Today’s 19 sits 0 points above the window’s average of 18.6 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Sahuarita pollen through the year

Three chapters make the Arizona pollen year, and Sahuarita 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 Sahuarita 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 Sahuarita 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.
