Pollen count Hamilton residents check each morning
The Hamilton pollen count today is 22 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 28 today. The full split is tree pollen 0.6, grass pollen 3, weed pollen 28. 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 Friday, November 6, 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 Hamilton 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. In the Plains and around the Great Lakes, ragweed is a familiar late-season plant of open ground, field edges and disturbed soil, which is why it so often leads inland autumn readings.

When people ask about Hamilton allergies, this is the number that answers them — one daily index built from today’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings for Hamilton.
Allergies in Hamilton follow the Kansas 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 Hamilton 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 Hamilton allergy forecast: today reads 22 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Hamilton 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 Hamilton today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.
The Hamilton allergy count today is 22 (Low) — the same Total Pollen Index as the pollen count above, in one combined reading.

Pollen by type in Hamilton
What is driving Hamilton’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 22 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 28 (Low on its own scale) — about 89% of the four category readings added together, 25 points clear of the next category, grass pollen at 3. 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 Kansas 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 Hamilton, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Kansas guide’s account of Kansas names ragweed, intense from late summer to frost — 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 19 to 22, never changing band. Today’s 22 sits 1 point above the window’s average of 20.8 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.
Plants affecting Hamilton now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Hamilton 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 3 (Low).
Weed pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 28 (Low).
In the South-Central Plains pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are spring trees, prairie grasses and late-summer ragweed — named here as regional context only, not as today\u2019s measurements.
Plant detail returns here automatically on any day the source data includes it.

Hamilton pollen through the year
The Hamilton pollen year runs in chapters, set by the South-Central Plains pattern and the Kansas calendar. Trees come first: river-corridor trees open from February — elm and maple first, then oak and hickory. Grasses take the middle of the year: prairie grasses take over in late May and hold the summer. Weeds close it out: ragweed builds from mid-August to the first hard frost, carried county to county by plains wind. Mold shares the long middle of the year, fed by river-bottom humidity.
The Kansas allergy season guide names ragweed, intense from late summer to frost. The AAFA’s 2025 Allergy Capitals report ranked Wichita No. 1, the most challenging US metro scored — and plains wind is the multiplier, so Kansas counts often rise and fall with regional wind patterns rather than local flowering alone. The EPA tracks ragweed season length as a climate indicator, and the central plains sit in the region where that season is naturally long.
November falls between the main chapters of the Kansas 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 Kansas 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 Kansas allergy season guide.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Hamilton 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 Hamilton, KS 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.
Hamilton in today’s national picture

Pollen totals are population numbers; symptoms are personal. The same reading can leave one Hamilton resident untouched and floor another, depending on which pollens they are sensitised to. If this pattern finds you every season, allergists in Hamilton, KS 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.
