Baton Rouge Ragweed Pollen Count: 5-Day Forecast

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 Baton Rouge’s overall trend across the week. Today’s ragweed pollen reading is the headline above.

Species driving Baton Rouge’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 23 (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 August toward a mild, late finish. This month sits inside the ragweed pollen window for the Gulf & South Texas pattern, so today’s ragweed pollen reading should be judged against that chapter of the Louisiana year. The Louisiana allergy season guide singles out an early February tree start and outdoor mold, elevated much of the year in the Gulf humidity.
