Pollen count Lake City residents check each morning
The Lake City pollen count today is 22 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 26 today. Weed pollen leads the split at 26 (Low on its own scale), followed by tree pollen at 20 and grass pollen at 2. Below, the plant detail and the multi-day outlook show whether today is the pattern or the exception. 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 Lake City 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 Lake City
What is driving Lake City’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 22 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 26 (Low on its own scale) — about 54% of the four category readings added together, 6 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 20. 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.
Plant-level detail is not in today’s feed for Lake City, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Georgia guide’s account of Georgia names oak, pine and hickory, overlapping at the April peak — the pollens behind readings of this shape in this state — and the split shows how much of today’s total each category is actually carrying.
Across the five-day window the Total Pollen Index runs from 22 to 22, never changing band. Today’s 22 sits level with the window’s average of 22 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Lake City pollen through the year
Three chapters make the Georgia pollen year, and Lake City follows them in the Southeast order. The tree chapter: trees can start as early as February and peak in April. The grass chapter: grasses follow in May and run through the summer. The weed chapter: ragweed runs from mid-August to the first frost. Mold is the quiet fourth player, sustained by river-valley humidity between the pollen waves.
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. The Georgia guide singles out oak, pine and hickory, overlapping at the April peak.
November in Lake City 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 Lake City 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 Lake City, 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.
Lake City in today’s national picture
