What is driving Forest Hills’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 26 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 33 (Low on its own scale) — about 93% of the four category readings added together, 31 points clear of the next category, grass pollen at 2. 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 the Kentucky calendar working as expected — November falls in the closing weeks of the state’s weed chapter.

Plant-level detail is not in today’s feed for Forest Hills, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Kentucky guide’s account of Kentucky names Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue — grass is the state’s signature act — 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 22 to 26, never changing band. Today’s 26 sits 1 point above the window’s average of 24.6 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Forest Hills pollen through the year

Chapter by chapter, the Forest Hills pollen year runs like this:

• Trees can start as early as February and peak in April.
• Grasses follow in May and run through the summer.
• Ragweed runs from mid-August to the first frost.
• Mold is the quiet fourth player, sustained by river-valley humidity between the pollen waves.

The Kentucky allergy season guide names Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue — grass is the state’s signature act. Kentucky runs along a diagonal: the eastern mountains run the shortest season and close first, while the far west runs warmest and longest, and Ohio River bottoms hold the moisture that keeps mold in the count. Kentucky bluegrass anchors the grass act, and tall fescue covers even more acreage, stretching the grass calendar on both ends.

November in Forest Hills sits inside the weed chapter of the Kentucky year, in its closing weeks — the part of the calendar today’s readings should be judged against. Between them, the three chapters cover 10 months of the Kentucky year, February to November — a long season by national standards, with only a short quiet gap. The full calendar is set out in the Kentucky allergy season guide.

How to read this index

Pollen Atlas reports the Forest Hills 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 Forest Hills, KY 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.
