Species driving Longboat Key’s ragweed pollen
Species-level counts are not part of the modelled data Pollen Atlas publishes — the modelled index is reported per pollen type, not per species — so this section gives the type summary: ragweed pollen reads 24 (Low) today. The plant-by-plant detail that is available, from the Google Pollen API, is in the next section.
How to read this: the “ragweed” figure on this site is the modelled weed pollen index — the weed group (ragweed + mugwort) — printed under the ragweed name the rankings use.

Ragweed arrives in late summer and fall, for a shorter window than in the Midwest, alongside a fall mold surge. This month sits inside the ragweed pollen window for the Florida pattern, so today’s ragweed pollen reading should be judged against that chapter of the Florida year. The Florida allergy season guide singles out oak, the signature spring event that often begins in February.
