Pollen count Paltamo residents check each morning
The Paltamo pollen count today is 17 (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 22, weed pollen 0.6. 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 7, 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 Paltamo page.
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 Paltamo
What is driving Paltamo’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 17 (Low) is set by grass pollen at 22 (Low on its own scale) — about 95% of the four category readings added together, 21.4 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 Finland grass chapter runs June 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 Paltamo, 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 17, never changing band. Today’s 17 sits 1 point above the window’s average of 16 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Paltamo pollen through the year
The Paltamo pollen year runs in chapters, set by the Nordic & Baltic North pattern and the Finland calendar. Trees come first: the season is compressed: alder stirs first, and birch — the region’s signature spring pollen — peaks through May into early June. Grasses take the middle of the year: grasses own a brief early-summer peak, cresting around the first hay cutting in June and July. Weeds close it out: mugwort runs through August, and ragweed is scarce at these latitudes — the late window is short and light. Mold rises late in the short season, from decaying vegetation as the brief summer closes.
No Finland allergy season guide is published yet, so this page does not single out signature pollens for Paltamo — the calendar above is the Nordic & Baltic North regional pattern, and the plant detail on this page names what today’s feed actually records.
November falls between the main chapters of the Finland 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 6 months of the Finland year, April to September — a compressed season, which is why its chapters arrive in quick succession. No Finland allergy season guide is published yet — this calendar follows the Nordic & Baltic North regional pattern. See Paltamo pollen count rankings and Paltamo on the pollen heatmap.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Paltamo 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.
