Pollen count Spirit Lake residents check each morning
The Spirit Lake pollen count today is 5 (Low). No single plant stands out in today’s readings; the Grass category is the one the index is led by. Tree pollen is the highest single category in the split at 0.6 (Low), ahead of grass pollen at 0.6 and weed pollen at 0.6. The sections below break that headline number down by plant, by day and by what the band means in practice. 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 Spirit Lake page.
Higher-elevation Mountain West cities generally run a shorter outdoor pollen season than the coasts or the South, with the main tree and grass activity compressed into the warmer months. Autumn and winter pages in this region are therefore commonly quiet, with low totals built from small weed and mold values. A low reading in this region and season is the expected pattern, and any future rise will show first in the category split and the forecast, not in the headline alone.

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

When people ask about Spirit Lake allergies, this is the number that answers them — one daily index built from today’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings for Spirit Lake.
Allergies in Spirit Lake follow the Idaho 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 Spirit Lake 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 Spirit Lake allergy forecast: today reads 5 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Spirit Lake 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 Spirit Lake today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.

Pollen by type in Spirit Lake
What is driving Spirit Lake’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 5 (Low) is set by tree pollen at 0.6 (Low on its own scale) — about 33% of the four category readings added together, level with grass pollen at 0.6. 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 Idaho 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 Spirit Lake, 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 5 to 5, never changing band. Today’s 5 sits level with the window’s average of 5 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.
Plants affecting Spirit Lake now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Spirit Lake 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 0.6 (Low).
Grass pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 0.6 (Low).
Weed pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 0.6 (Low).
In the Mountain West pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are spring trees and late-spring grasses in a compressed warm-season window — named here as regional context only, not as today\u2019s measurements.

Spirit Lake pollen through the year
The Spirit Lake pollen year runs in chapters, set by the Mountain West pattern and the Idaho calendar. Trees come first: juniper can arrive in late winter, and the main tree wave builds in spring — as late as April at Denver’s altitude. Grasses take the middle of the year: grasses follow in a compressed early-summer run. Weeds close it out: ragweed and sagebrush-family weeds close the year from late summer.
The Idaho allergy season guide names sagebrush, the signature weed of the Snake River plain from August through October. 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.
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 Spirit Lake 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.
Spirit Lake in today’s national picture
At 5 (Low), Spirit Lake ranks joint 85734th of the 90896 cities Pollen Atlas tracks today — in the middle of the national table.

The whole table spans 47 points today — a wide-open day, when the top and bottom of the table are effectively in different seasons.
Around Spirit Lake: Blanchard, ID (7 miles away) reads 5 (Low); Athol, ID (8 miles away) reads 5 (Low); Rathdrum, ID (12 miles away) reads 5 (Low). Spirit Lake reads exactly level with its nearest tracked neighbour today. Across Idaho’s 236 tracked cities, today runs from 5 in Coeur d'Alene to 29 in Genesee.
Pollen totals are population numbers; symptoms are personal. The same reading can leave one Spirit Lake resident untouched and floor another, depending on which pollens they are sensitised to. If this pattern finds you every season, allergists in Spirit Lake, ID 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.
