Pollen count Bristol residents check each morning
The Bristol pollen count today is 12 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 11 today. Tree pollen is the highest single category in the split at 14 (Low), ahead of weed pollen at 11 and grass pollen at 4. Plant-by-plant detail for Bristol, FL 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 tree pollen, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Bristol page.
Florida’s mild climate supports a longer and less sharply divided pollen calendar than most of the United States: tree, grass and weed pollen can each appear across more of the year, and no single month reliably clears the index to zero. Florida pages should therefore be read from their modelled split rather than from a northern seasonal calendar. A low Florida total is a low modelled day, not an off-season guarantee, and the five-day outlook matters more here than in strongly seasonal climates.

When people ask about Bristol allergies, this is the number that answers them — one daily index built from today’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings for Bristol.
Allergies in Bristol follow the Florida 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 Bristol 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 Bristol allergy forecast: today reads 12 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Bristol 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 Bristol today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.
The Bristol allergy count today is 12 (Low) — the same Total Pollen Index as the pollen count above, in one combined reading.

Pollen by type in Bristol
What is driving Bristol’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 12 (Low) is set by tree pollen at 14 (Low on its own scale) — about 48% of the four category readings added together, 3 points clear of the next category, weed pollen at 11. Tree readings are the fastest-moving of the four in their season, because species pollinate in sequence — a tree-led total can change character within a week. Tree pollen leading in November runs against the usual calendar — the Florida tree chapter runs January to April — so today’s lead is the model outranking the pattern, and this page reports the modelled reading first.
In the plant detail, Elm (tree) carries the strongest single plant reading, at a Universal Pollen Index of 1 (Very Low), followed by Ragweed at 1. None of the plants in today’s detail is one of the state guide’s signature names for Florida — a single day’s detail and a season’s pattern are different lenses, and both are printed on this page for that reason.
Across the five-day window the Total Pollen Index runs from 12 to 17, never changing band. Today’s 12 sits 2 points below the window’s average of 14.4 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Bristol pollen through the year
Chapter by chapter, the Bristol pollen year runs like this:
- Cedar and then oak open the year, oak beginning as early as February.
- Grasses run from spring into October or later.
- Ragweed arrives in late summer and fall, for a shorter window than in the Midwest, alongside a fall mold surge.
The Florida allergy season guide names oak, the signature spring event that often begins in February. Pollen Atlas data shows Miami recording measurable pollen in every month of a typical year — Florida’s calendar rarely clears to zero. Fall in Florida combines its shorter ragweed season with a mold surge from leaf litter and tropical-season rain.
November in Bristol sits inside the weed chapter of the Florida year, in its closing weeks — the part of the calendar today’s readings should be judged against. Between them, the three chapters cover 11 months of the Florida year, January to November — a long season by national standards, with only a short quiet gap. The full calendar is set out in the Florida allergy season guide.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Bristol 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 Bristol, FL 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.
Bristol in today’s national picture
At 12 (Low), Bristol ranks joint 74231st of the 90896 cities Pollen Atlas tracks today — in the middle of the national table. The highest reading in the country today is Serpa, Portugal at 53, and the lowest is Galiakberovo, Russia at 5. The whole table spans 48 points today — a wide-open day, when the top and bottom of the table are effectively in different seasons.

Bristol reads exactly level with its nearest tracked neighbour today. Across Florida’s 953 tracked cities, today runs from 7 in Inwood to 30 in Harlem.
Pollen totals are population numbers; symptoms are personal. The same reading can leave one Bristol resident untouched and floor another, depending on which pollens they are sensitised to. If this pattern finds you every ragweed season, allergists in Bristol, FL 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.
