Pollen count Varanasi residents check each morning
The Varanasi pollen count today is 23 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 26 today. Weed pollen leads the split at 26 (Low on its own scale), followed by tree pollen at 19 and grass pollen at 10. Below, the plant detail and the multi-day outlook show whether today is the pattern or the exception. Pollen Atlas updated this count on Thursday, November 5, 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 Varanasi 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.

When people ask about Varanasi allergies, this is the number that answers them — one daily index built from today’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings for Varanasi.
Allergies in Varanasi follow the India 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 Varanasi 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 Varanasi allergy forecast: today reads 23 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Varanasi 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 Varanasi today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.
The Varanasi allergy count today is 23 (Low) — the same Total Pollen Index as the pollen count above, in one combined reading.

Pollen by type in Varanasi
What is driving Varanasi’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 23 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 26 (Low on its own scale) — about 47% of the four category readings added together, 7 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 19. 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 a modelled reading, reported as modelled — no regional calendar is asserted for India, and the modelled value outranks any general seasonal expectation.
Plant-level detail is not in today’s feed for Varanasi, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above — it shows how much of today’s total each category is actually carrying, and plant detail returns here automatically on any day the feed includes it.
Across the five-day window the Total Pollen Index runs from 20 to 23, never changing band. Today’s 23 sits 1 point above the window’s average of 21.6 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.
Plants affecting Varanasi now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Varanasi 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.

Grass pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 10 (Low).
Weed pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 26 (Low).
In the Global pattern, the plants that shape this city’s year vary with its local climate and vegetation, and no single regional calendar is published for this area — named here as regional context only, not as today\u2019s measurements.

Varanasi pollen through the year
Three chapters make the India pollen year, and Varanasi follows them in the Global order. The tree chapter: tree pollen seasons vary with local climate and vegetation, so this page reports the measured readings first and treats any calendar as background only. The grass chapter: grass pollen seasons vary with local climate and vegetation, and the measured value outranks any general seasonal expectation. The weed chapter: weed pollen seasons vary with local climate and vegetation, and no regional calendar is asserted for this area.
No India allergy season guide is published yet, so this page does not single out signature pollens for Varanasi — the calendar above is the Global regional pattern, and the plant detail on this page names what today’s feed actually records.
November in Varanasi is reported from its modelled readings, not from a regional calendar — no regional calendar is asserted for India, so the calendar alone explains little today, and the modelled split above carries the story. No India allergy season guide is published yet — this calendar follows the Global regional pattern. See Varanasi pollen count rankings and Varanasi on the pollen heatmap.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Varanasi 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 Varanasi, India 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.
Varanasi in today’s national picture
At 23 (Low), Varanasi ranks joint 41692nd 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 Varanasi: Mirzāpur, India (49 km away) reads 26 (Low); Gyānpur, India (55 km away) reads 30 (Low); Mau, India (89 km away) reads 29 (Low). Varanasi reads 3 points lower than its nearest tracked neighbour today. Across India’s 275 tracked cities, today runs from 9 in Ooty to 30 in Parbhani.
Pollen totals are population numbers; symptoms are personal. The same reading can leave one Varanasi resident untouched and floor another, depending on which pollens they are sensitised to. If this pattern finds you every season, allergists in Varanasi, India 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.
