What is driving Flowood’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 19 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 21 (Low on its own scale) — about 48% of the four category readings added together, 2 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 19. 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 Flowood, 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 16 to 19, never changing band. Today’s 19 sits 2 points above the window’s average of 17.4 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Flowood pollen through the year

The Flowood 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 Flowood 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 Flowood 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 Flowood, 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.
