Pollen count Riverstown residents check each morning
The Riverstown pollen count today is 10 (Low). No single plant stands out in today’s readings; the Grass category is the one the index is led by. The full split is tree pollen 9, grass pollen 10, weed pollen 7. Plant-by-plant detail for Riverstown, Ireland follows, along with the outlook for the days ahead. Pollen Atlas updated this count on Sunday, November 8, 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 grass pollen, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Riverstown page.
Outside its main late-spring and early-summer window, grass pollen usually appears as a small background value rather than the driver of the total. A low grass reading alongside a higher weed or mold value is a typical off-peak pattern. Grass should be read from its own value on this page, not assumed from the calendar: the index reports today’s modelled value, and the modelled value outranks any general seasonal expectation.

Pollen by type in Riverstown
What is driving Riverstown’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 10 (Low) is set by grass pollen at 10 (Low on its own scale) — about 38% of the four category readings added together, 1 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 9. Grass-led totals tend to hold a level for days at a time rather than spike and clear, because grasses pollinate over an extended period. Grass pollen leading in November runs against the usual calendar — the Ireland grass chapter runs May to July — 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 Riverstown, 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 10 to 12, never changing band. Today’s 10 sits 1 point below the window’s average of 11 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Riverstown pollen through the year
Chapter by chapter, the Riverstown pollen year runs like this:
- Hazel and alder can open as early as February in mild winters, and the main tree wave — birch, then oak — builds through spring to a May peak.
- Grasses hold from late May into July, peaking in late spring and early summer.
- Weeds are the minor closing act — mugwort through late summer, with ragweed localised and generally light this far west.
- Mold tracks the region’s Atlantic humidity rather than a flowering calendar, and it fills the gaps between chapters.
No Ireland allergy season guide is published yet, so this page does not single out signature pollens for Riverstown — the calendar above is the Atlantic West regional pattern, and the plant detail on this page names what today’s feed actually records.
November falls between the main chapters of the Ireland 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 Ireland year, February to October — leaving a quiet gap of roughly 3 months in the depth of the off-season. No Ireland allergy season guide is published yet — this calendar follows the Atlantic West regional pattern. See Riverstown pollen count rankings and Riverstown on the pollen heatmap.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Riverstown 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.
