Pollen count Kealakekua residents check each morning
The Kealakekua pollen count today is 8 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 8 today. Tree pollen is the highest single category in the split at 8 (Low), ahead of weed pollen at 8 and grass pollen at 7. Plant-by-plant detail for Kealakekua, HI 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 tree pollen, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Kealakekua 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 Kealakekua
What is driving Kealakekua’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 8 (Low) is set by tree pollen at 8 (Low on its own scale) — about 35% of the four category readings added together, level with weed pollen at 8. 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 Hawaii tree chapter runs February to May — so today’s lead is the model outranking the pattern, and this page reports the modelled reading first.
Plant-level detail is not in today’s feed for Kealakekua, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Hawaii guide’s account of Hawaii names kiawe, flowering most heavily in late winter and spring, and grasses that pollinate in nearly every month — 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 8 to 17, never changing band. Today’s 8 sits 6 points below the window’s average of 14.4 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.
Plants affecting Kealakekua now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Kealakekua 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.

Kealakekua pollen through the year
Chapter by chapter, the Kealakekua pollen year runs like this:
- Kiawe, the signature tree of the dry leeward lowlands, flowers most heavily in late winter and spring, in overlapping waves rather than a single spring flush.
- Grasses pollinate in nearly every month, with the strongest run from spring into summer and a peak from March through August.
- The guides name no separate weed chapter for Hawaii — the year is carried by grasses, tree waves and wet-season mold.
- The wet season, roughly November through April, shifts the burden toward mold and indoor damp even as outdoor pollen eases in places.
The Hawaii allergy season guide names kiawe, flowering most heavily in late winter and spring, and grasses that pollinate in nearly every month. Hawaii has no frost and no true off-season: grasses pollinate in nearly every month, with the strongest grass run from spring into summer. Windward towns trade some dry pollen for persistent damp and mold, while leeward towns trade mold for dust, grass pollen and, on Hawaii Island, vog.
November in Kealakekua sits in the overlap of the grass and weed chapters of the Hawaii year — overlap weeks, when two chapters feed the same total and the split matters more than the headline. Between them, the three chapters touch every month of the Hawaii year — there is no reliably empty month in this calendar. The full calendar is set out in the Hawaii allergy season guide.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Kealakekua 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 Kealakekua, HI 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.
