What is driving Makawao’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 14 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 15 (Low on its own scale) — about 41% of the four category readings added together, 3 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 12. 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 Hawaii calendar working as expected — November falls in the opening weeks of the state’s weed chapter.

Plant-level detail is not in today’s feed for Makawao, 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 14 to 21, never changing band. Today’s 14 sits 4 points below the window’s average of 18 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.

Makawao pollen through the year

Chapter by chapter, the Makawao 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 Makawao 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 Makawao 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 Makawao, 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.
