Allergies in Ethel follow the Mississippi 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 Ethel 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 Ethel allergy forecast: today reads 14 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Ethel 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.

What is driving Ethel’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 14 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 16 (Low on its own scale) — about 47% of the four category readings added together, 1 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 15. 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 Mississippi 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 Ethel, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Mississippi guide’s account of Mississippi names oak, pine and hickory in spring — the famous yellow pine dust is highly visible but only part of the spring story — 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 12 to 14, never changing band. Today’s 14 sits 1 point above the window’s average of 13.2 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Ethel pollen through the year

The Ethel pollen year runs in chapters, set by the Southeast pattern and the Mississippi calendar. Trees come first: trees can start as early as February and peak in April. Grasses take the middle of the year: grasses follow in May and run through the summer. Weeds close it out: 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 Mississippi allergy season guide names oak, pine and hickory in spring — the famous yellow pine dust is highly visible but only part of the spring story. Mississippi’s outdoor season can begin with tree pollen in February and stretch into November, among the longest runs anywhere in the United States. The University of Mississippi Medical Center notes that tree pollen has historically posed its biggest threat from early March through April, with grasses following from May into July and ragweed from September through October.

November in Ethel sits inside the weed chapter of the Mississippi 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 Mississippi year, February to November — a long season by national standards, with only a short quiet gap. The full calendar is set out in the Mississippi allergy season guide.

How to read this index

Pollen Atlas reports the Ethel 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 Ethel, MS 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.

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