What is driving Minidoka’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 28 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 36 (Low on its own scale) — about 97% of the four category readings added together, 35.4 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 0.6. 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 runs against the usual calendar — the Idaho weed chapter runs August to October — 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 Minidoka, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Idaho guide’s account of Idaho names sagebrush, the signature weed of the Snake River plain from August through October — 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 27 to 28, never changing band. Today’s 28 sits 1 point above the window’s average of 27.4 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Minidoka pollen through the year

Three chapters make the Idaho pollen year, and Minidoka follows them in the Mountain West order. The tree chapter: juniper can arrive in late winter, and the main tree wave builds in spring — as late as April at Denver’s altitude. The grass chapter: grasses follow in a compressed early-summer run. The weed chapter: ragweed and sagebrush-family weeds close the year from late summer.

Southwest Idaho’s working calendar runs trees from February to May, grasses from May to July, and weeds from August — and elevation delays everything, so the eastern high country starts later and ends earlier than the Treasure Valley. The northern panhandle is a different regime — wetter and forested, with pine, cedar and alder in spring and a softer sagebrush presence. The Idaho guide singles out sagebrush, the signature weed of the Snake River plain from August through October.

November falls between the main chapters of the Idaho pollen year — the tail of one and the approach of the next — so the calendar alone explains little today, and the modelled split above carries the story. Between them, the three chapters cover 9 months of the Idaho year, February to October — leaving a quiet gap of roughly 3 months in the depth of the off-season. The full calendar is set out in the Idaho allergy season guide.

How to read this index

Pollen Atlas reports the Minidoka 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 whatever the month. 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.
