What is driving Old Hill’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 7 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 9 (Low on its own scale) — about 88% of the four category readings added together, 8.4 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 0.6. A weed-led total is the classic late-year shape: tree and grass pollen have usually receded, leaving weed pollen — and on damp days mold — to make up most of what the index records. Weed pollen leading in November runs against the usual calendar — the Connecticut weed chapter runs August to October — 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 Old Hill, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Connecticut guide’s account of Connecticut names oak, the spring heavyweight peaking in May, with birch alongside — 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 7 to 16, never changing band. Today’s 7 sits 7 points below the window’s average of 13.6 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.

Old Hill pollen through the year

Three chapters make the Connecticut pollen year, and Old Hill follows them in the Northeast order. The tree chapter: trees open in late March and build to an oak-led peak in May. The grass chapter: grasses hold from late May into July. The weed chapter: ragweed builds from mid-August, peaks in September, and is ended by the first hard frost. Mold tracks the region’s humidity rather than a flowering calendar, and it fills the gaps between chapters.

Connecticut’s season runs from late March to the first hard frost in three clear acts, and the Connecticut River Valley’s farm bottomlands give Hartford a fall ragweed peak to match its spring. The shore trades a little pollen relief from Sound breezes for elevated mold, while the northwest hills start latest and finish earliest. The Connecticut guide singles out oak, the spring heavyweight peaking in May, with birch alongside.

November falls between the main chapters of the Connecticut 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 8 months of the Connecticut year, March to October — a compressed season, which is why its chapters arrive in quick succession. The full calendar is set out in the Connecticut allergy season guide.

How to read this index

Pollen Atlas reports the Old Hill 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 Old Hill, CT 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.
