Species driving Spanish Lake’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 27 (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 builds from mid-August to the first hard frost, carried county to county by plains wind. This month sits outside the usual ragweed pollen window for the South-Central Plains pattern, so today’s ragweed pollen reading is the modelled value outranking the calendar — this page reports the modelled reading first. The Missouri allergy season guide singles out oak and hickory over an elm and maple opening, in a season written by the state’s rivers.
