Pollen Atlas models the daily detail as an overall index: day-by-day splits by individual pollen type are not part of the modelled data, so this table shows Columbia’s overall trend across the week. Today’s ragweed pollen reading is the headline above.

Species driving Columbia’s ragweed pollen

Species-level counts are not part of the modelled data Pollen Atlas publishes — the modelled index is reported per pollen type, not per species — so this section gives the type summary: ragweed pollen reads 25 (Low) today. The plant-by-plant detail that is available, from the Google Pollen API, is in the next section.

How to read this: the “ragweed” figure on this site is the modelled weed pollen index — the weed group (ragweed + mugwort) — printed under the ragweed name the rankings use.

Ragweed runs from mid-August to the first frost. This month sits inside the ragweed pollen window for the Southeast pattern, so today’s ragweed pollen reading should be judged against that chapter of the Kentucky year. The Kentucky allergy season guide singles out Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue — grass is the state’s signature act.
