Species driving Coachella’s ragweed pollen
Species-level counts are not part of the modelled data Pollen Atlas publishes — the modelled index is reported per pollen type, not per species — so this section gives the type summary: ragweed pollen reads 47 (Moderate) today. The plant-by-plant detail that is available, from the Google Pollen API, is in the next section.
How to read this: the “ragweed” figure on this site is the modelled weed pollen index — the weed group (ragweed + mugwort) — printed under the ragweed name the rankings use.

What this ragweed pollen level means
Moderate risk. If you have allergies, consider meds and limit exposure during peak hours.
Keep windows closed at midday; shower after being outside.
Weeds follow in late summer and fall, stronger after wet winters. This month sits outside the usual ragweed pollen window for the California pattern, so today’s ragweed pollen reading is the modelled value outranking the calendar — this page reports the modelled reading first. The California allergy season guide singles out planted olive and the Central Valley’s concentrated spring pollen.
