Pollen count Douala residents check each morning
The Douala pollen count today is 18 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 18 today. Grass pollen is the highest single category in the split at 19 (Low), ahead of weed pollen at 18 and tree pollen at 14. Below, the plant detail and the multi-day outlook show whether today is the pattern or the exception. Pollen Atlas updated this count on Thursday, November 5, 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 grass pollen, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Douala 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 Douala
What is driving Douala’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 18 (Low) is set by grass pollen at 19 (Low on its own scale) — about 37% of the four category readings added together, 1 points clear of the next category, weed pollen at 18. Grass-led totals tend to hold a level for days at a time rather than spike and clear, because grasses pollinate over an extended period. Grass pollen leading in November is a modelled reading, reported as modelled — no regional calendar is asserted for Cameroon, and the modelled value outranks any general seasonal expectation.
Plant-level detail is not in today’s feed for Douala, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above — it shows how much of today’s total each category is actually carrying, and plant detail returns here automatically on any day the feed includes it.
Across the five-day window the Total Pollen Index runs from 12 to 27, never changing band. Today’s 18 sits 1 point below the window’s average of 18.6 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.

Douala pollen through the year
Three chapters make the Cameroon pollen year, and Douala follows them in the Global order. The tree chapter: tree pollen seasons vary with local climate and vegetation, so this page reports the measured readings first and treats any calendar as background only. The grass chapter: grass pollen seasons vary with local climate and vegetation, and the measured value outranks any general seasonal expectation. The weed chapter: weed pollen seasons vary with local climate and vegetation, and no regional calendar is asserted for this area.
No Cameroon allergy season guide is published yet, so this page does not single out signature pollens for Douala — the calendar above is the Global regional pattern, and the plant detail on this page names what today’s feed actually records.
November in Douala is reported from its modelled readings, not from a regional calendar — no regional calendar is asserted for Cameroon, so the calendar alone explains little today, and the modelled split above carries the story. No Cameroon allergy season guide is published yet — this calendar follows the Global regional pattern. See Douala pollen count rankings and Douala on the pollen heatmap.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Douala 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 Douala, Cameroon 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.
Douala in today’s national picture

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