Pollen count Anson residents check each morning
The Anson pollen count today is 5 (Low). No single plant stands out in today’s readings; the Grass category is the one the index is led by. Tree pollen is the highest single category in the split at 0.6 (Low), ahead of grass pollen at 0.6 and weed pollen at 0.6. Plant-by-plant detail for Anson, ME follows, along with the outlook for the days ahead. 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 tree pollen, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Anson 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 Anson
What is driving Anson’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 5 (Low) is set by tree pollen at 0.6 (Low on its own scale) — about 33% of the four category readings added together, level with grass pollen at 0.6. Tree readings are the fastest-moving of the four in their season, because species pollinate in sequence — a tree-led total can change character within a week. Tree pollen leading in November runs against the usual calendar — the Maine tree chapter runs March to May — 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 Anson, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Maine guide’s account of Maine names birch, a signature spring pollen, released with maple and oak in a rapid April and May burst — 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 5 to 5, never changing band. Today’s 5 sits level with the window’s average of 5 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.
Plants affecting Anson now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Anson 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 0.6 (Low).
Weed pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 0.6 (Low).

Anson pollen through the year
Chapter by chapter, the Anson pollen year runs like this:
- Alder and maple stir in late March in the south, and the burst crests through April and May — birch above all, with maple and oak — later with every mile north.
- Hayfield and pasture grasses own June and July, cresting around the first hay cutting.
- Ragweed runs August into September and is ended by an early first frost — earliest inland and in the north.
- Mold bookends the year — mud-season stirrings in March and leaf-litter mold returning in the fall — and the coast trades some pollen intensity for fog, damp and summer mold.
The Maine allergy season guide names birch, a signature spring pollen, released with maple and oak in a rapid April and May burst. Maine’s season is lengthening: Portland’s freeze-free growing season has expanded by about 16 days since 1970, according to WGME meteorologists’ reporting of climate data. The coast trades some pollen intensity for fog, damp and summer mold, while inland valleys get warmer, stiller air and the forest’s full output.
November falls between the main chapters of the Maine 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 7 months of the Maine year, March to September — a compressed season, which is why its chapters arrive in quick succession. The full calendar is set out in the Maine allergy season guide.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Anson 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.
