Pollen count Parma residents check each morning
The Parma pollen count today is 15 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 19 today. Weed pollen leads the split at 19 (Low on its own scale), followed by tree pollen at 0.6 and grass pollen at 0.6. Below, the plant detail and the multi-day outlook show whether today is the pattern or the exception. 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 Parma 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.

Allergies in Parma follow the Michigan 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 Parma 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 Parma allergy forecast: today reads 15 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Parma 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 Parma today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.
The Parma allergy count today is 15 (Low) — the same Total Pollen Index as the pollen count above, in one combined reading.

Pollen by type in Parma
What is driving Parma’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 15 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 19 (Low on its own scale) — about 94% of the four category readings added together, 18.4 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 0.6. 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 Michigan 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 Parma, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Michigan guide’s account of Michigan names birch and oak in a compressed late-spring stack, and ragweed as the heavy fall finish — 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 15 to 21, never changing band. Today’s 15 sits 5 points below the window’s average of 19.6 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.
Plants affecting Parma now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Parma 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 19 (Low).
In the Midwest & Great Lakes pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are spring trees, late-spring and summer grasses, and late-summer and autumn ragweed — named here as regional context only, not as today\u2019s measurements.

Parma pollen through the year
Three chapters make the Michigan pollen year, and Parma follows them in the Midwest & Great Lakes order. The tree chapter: trees run from March into May, later near the big lakes. The grass chapter: grasses hold from May through July. The weed chapter: ragweed builds from mid-August, peaks in September, and ends at the first frost. Mold builds through the humid summer and fills the gaps between chapters.
Lake moderation delays Michigan’s spring, so birch and oak peaks arrive close together in late spring rather than spread across two months. The AAFA’s research consistently treats the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley as a high-burden region across tree, grass and weed scores. The Michigan guide singles out birch and oak in a compressed late-spring stack, and ragweed as the heavy fall finish.
November falls between the main chapters of the Michigan 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 8 months of the Michigan year, March to October — a compressed season, which is why its chapters arrive in quick succession. The full calendar is set out in the Michigan allergy season guide.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Parma 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 Parma, MI 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.
Parma in today’s national picture

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