Pollen count Red Cliff residents check each morning

The Red Cliff pollen count today is 24 (Low). No single plant stands out in today’s readings; the Grass category is the one the index is led by. The full split is tree pollen 0.6, grass pollen 31, weed pollen 0.6. Plant-by-plant detail for Red Cliff, CO follows, along with the outlook for the days ahead. 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 grass pollen, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Red Cliff page.

Higher-elevation Mountain West cities generally run a shorter outdoor pollen season than the coasts or the South, with the main tree and grass activity compressed into the warmer months. Autumn and winter pages in this region are therefore commonly quiet, with low totals built from small weed and mold values. A low reading in this region and season is the expected pattern, and any future rise will show first in the category split and the forecast, not in the headline alone.

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

Red Cliff allergies today are set by the same reading as the pollen count above: the Total Pollen Index is 24 (Low), driven mainly by Grass. When people ask about Red Cliff allergies, this is the number that answers them — one daily index built from today’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings for Red Cliff.

Allergies in Red Cliff follow the Colorado 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 Red Cliff 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 Red Cliff allergy forecast: today reads 24 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Red Cliff 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 Red Cliff today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.

Pollen by type in Red Cliff

What is driving Red Cliff’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 24 (Low) is set by grass pollen at 31 (Low on its own scale) — about 96% of the four category readings added together, 30.4 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 0.6. 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 runs against the usual calendar — the Colorado grass chapter runs May to July — 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 Red Cliff, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Colorado guide’s account of Colorado names juniper, arriving ahead of the local tree season, and the ragweed and sagebrush-family weeds of late summer — 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 21 to 24, never changing band. Today’s 24 sits 2 points above the window’s average of 22.2 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Plants affecting Red Cliff now

Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Red Cliff 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.

Tree pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 0.6 (Low).

Grass pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 31 (Low).

Weed pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 0.6 (Low).

In the Mountain West pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are spring trees and late-spring grasses in a compressed warm-season window — named here as regional context only, not as today\u2019s measurements.

Plant detail returns here automatically on any day the source data includes it.

Red Cliff pollen through the year

Chapter by chapter, the Red Cliff pollen year runs like this:

  • Juniper can arrive in late winter, and the main tree wave builds in spring — as late as April at Denver’s altitude.
  • Grasses follow in a compressed early-summer run.
  • Ragweed and sagebrush-family weeds close the year from late summer.

The Colorado allergy season guide names juniper, arriving ahead of the local tree season, and the ragweed and sagebrush-family weeds of late summer. Altitude compresses Colorado’s season rather than removing it: the waves arrive late — Denver’s tree pollen typically builds in April — and end with early frosts, but they run in a tight sequence. The season ends with the first hard frosts, which stop the late-summer weeds — Denver usually reaches frost in fall, while mountain towns can frost far earlier.

November falls between the main chapters of the Colorado pollen year — the tail of one and the approach of the next — so the calendar alone explains little today, and the modelled split above carries the story. Between them, the three chapters cover 9 months of the Colorado year, February to October — leaving a quiet gap of roughly 3 months in the depth of the off-season. The full calendar is set out in the Colorado allergy season guide.

How to read this index

Pollen Atlas reports the Red Cliff 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.

Red Cliff in today’s national picture

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