Pollen count Shannon residents check each morning
The Shannon pollen count today is 15 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 18 today. Weed pollen leads the split at 18 (Low on its own scale), followed by tree pollen at 9 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 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 weed pollen or mold, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Shannon 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.

This is the pollen count Shannon residents check each morning, built from the day’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings.

Short answer for anyone searching pollen count today Shannon: this page is updated every morning with the day’s modelled reading.
Shannon allergies today
Shannon allergies today are set by the same reading as the pollen count above: the Total Pollen Index is 15 (Low), driven mainly by Ragweed. When people ask about Shannon allergies, this is the number that answers them — one daily index built from today’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings for Shannon.
Allergies in Shannon follow the Georgia 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 Shannon 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 Shannon allergy forecast: today reads 15 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Shannon 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 Shannon today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.
The Shannon allergy count today is 15 (Low) — the same Total Pollen Index as the pollen count above, in one combined reading.

Pollen by type in Shannon
What is driving Shannon’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 15 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 18 (Low on its own scale) — about 62% of the four category readings added together, 9 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 9. 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 Shannon, 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 13 to 15, never changing band. Today’s 15 sits 1 point above the window’s average of 14.2 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.
Plants affecting Shannon now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Shannon were not returned in today\u2019s source data, so this section summarises the pollen types the index above is built from instead of listing individual plants.
Tree pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 9 (Low).
Grass pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 2 (Low).
Weed pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 18 (Low).
In the Southeast pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are spring trees, warm-season grasses and late-summer ragweed — named here as regional context only, not as today\u2019s measurements.
Plant detail returns here automatically on any day the source data includes it.

Shannon pollen through the year
Three chapters make the Georgia pollen year, and Shannon 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 Shannon 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 Shannon 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 Shannon, 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.
Shannon in today’s national picture
At 15 (Low), Shannon ranks joint 66640th 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.
Around Shannon: Plainville, GA (5 miles away) reads 15 (Low); Berry College, GA (7 miles away) reads 17 (Low); Rome, GA (8 miles away) reads 17 (Low). Shannon reads exactly level with its nearest tracked neighbour today. Across Georgia’s 674 tracked cities, today runs from 8 in Sylvania to 29 in Doerun.
Pollen totals are population numbers; symptoms are personal. The same reading can leave one Shannon resident untouched and floor another, depending on which pollens they are sensitised to. If this pattern finds you every ragweed season, allergists in Shannon, GA 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.
