Pollen count Assab residents check each morning
The Assab pollen count today is 40 (Moderate). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 40 today. The full split is tree pollen 14, grass pollen 36, weed pollen 40. The sections below break that headline number down by plant, by day and by what the band means in practice. Pollen Atlas updated this count on Saturday, November 14, 2026.
A Moderate band means the Total Pollen Index sits in the middle of the 0–100 scale — neither a quiet day nor a peak day. On moderate days the split usually explains the total: one or two categories do most of the work while the others stay low. The Assab split above shows exactly which categories those are today, and the forecast below shows whether the moderate reading is a plateau or a step toward a higher band.
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 Assab
What is driving Assab’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 40 (Moderate) is set by weed pollen at 40 (Moderate on its own scale) — about 44% of the four category readings added together, 4 points clear of the next category, grass pollen at 36. 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 is a modelled reading, reported as modelled — no regional calendar is asserted for Eritrea, and the modelled value outranks any general seasonal expectation.
Plant-level detail is not in today’s feed for Assab, 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 36 to 40, never changing band. Today’s 40 sits 1 point above the window’s average of 39.2 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

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