Pollen count Saksun residents check each morning
The Saksun pollen count today is 44 (Moderate). 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 4, grass pollen 44, weed pollen 11. 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 Sunday, November 8, 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 Saksun 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.
Outside its main late-spring and early-summer window, grass pollen usually appears as a small background value rather than the driver of the total. A low grass reading alongside a higher weed or mold value is a typical off-peak pattern. Grass should be read from its own value on this page, not assumed from the calendar: the index reports today’s modelled value, and the modelled value outranks any general seasonal expectation.

Pollen by type in Saksun
What is driving Saksun’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 44 (Moderate) is set by grass pollen at 44 (Moderate on its own scale) — about 75% of the four category readings added together, 33 points clear of the next category, weed pollen at 11. 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 Faroe Islands 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 Saksun, 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 27 to 44, changing band 1 time. Today’s 44 sits 11 points above the window’s average of 33.2 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.

Saksun pollen through the year
The Saksun pollen year runs in chapters, set by the Atlantic West pattern and the Faroe Islands calendar. Trees come first: hazel and alder can open as early as February in mild winters, and the main tree wave — birch, then oak — builds through spring to a May peak. Grasses take the middle of the year: grasses hold from late May into July, peaking in late spring and early summer. Weeds close it out: weeds are the minor closing act — mugwort through late summer, with ragweed localised and generally light this far west. Mold tracks the region’s Atlantic humidity rather than a flowering calendar, and it fills the gaps between chapters.
No Faroe Islands allergy season guide is published yet, so this page does not single out signature pollens for Saksun — the calendar above is the Atlantic West regional pattern, and the plant detail on this page names what today’s feed actually records.
November falls between the main chapters of the Faroe Islands 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 Faroe Islands year, February to October — leaving a quiet gap of roughly 3 months in the depth of the off-season. No Faroe Islands allergy season guide is published yet — this calendar follows the Atlantic West regional pattern. See Saksun pollen count rankings and Saksun on the pollen heatmap.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Saksun 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.
