Pollen count Alpharetta residents check each morning
The Alpharetta pollen count today is 17 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 19 today. That total sits on a narrow base: weed pollen is 19 while tree pollen is just 14 and grass pollen 3. Plant-by-plant detail for Alpharetta, GA follows, along with the outlook for the days ahead. 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 weed pollen or mold, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Alpharetta page.
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 Alpharetta
What is driving Alpharetta’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 17 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 19 (Low on its own scale) — about 53% of the four category readings added together, 5 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 14. 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 the Georgia calendar working as expected — November falls in the closing weeks of the state’s weed chapter.
In the plant detail, Ragweed (weed) carries the strongest single plant reading, at a Universal Pollen Index of 1 (Very Low). None of the plants in today’s detail is one of the state guide’s signature names for Georgia — 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 16 to 17, never changing band. Today’s 17 sits 1 point above the window’s average of 16.4 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Alpharetta pollen through the year
Chapter by chapter, the Alpharetta pollen year runs like this:
- Trees can start as early as February and peak in April.
- Grasses follow in May and run through the summer.
- Ragweed runs from mid-August to the first frost.
- Mold is the quiet fourth player, sustained by river-valley humidity between the pollen waves.
The Georgia allergy season guide names oak, pine and hickory, overlapping at the April peak. Atlanta’s counting station has reported a spring day above 14,000 grains per cubic meter, among the highest figures reported in the United States. South Georgia starts each wave earlier and finishes later than the north Georgia mountains, so the same state can be weeks apart in its season at any given moment.
November in Alpharetta sits inside the weed chapter of the Georgia year, in its closing weeks — the part of the calendar today’s readings should be judged against. Between them, the three chapters cover 10 months of the Georgia year, February to November — a long season by national standards, with only a short quiet gap. The full calendar is set out in the Georgia allergy season guide.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Alpharetta 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 Alpharetta, GA 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.
