Pollen Atlas models the daily detail as an overall index: day-by-day splits by individual pollen type are not part of the modelled data, so this table shows Richton’s overall trend across the week. Today’s ragweed pollen reading is the headline above.

Species driving Richton’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 16 (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.

What this ragweed pollen level means

Low risk. Keep windows open; consider allergy meds only if sensitive.

Ragweed runs from mid-August to the first frost. This month sits inside the ragweed pollen window for the Southeast pattern, so today’s ragweed pollen reading should be judged against that chapter of the Mississippi year. The Mississippi allergy season guide singles out oak, pine and hickory in spring — the famous yellow pine dust is highly visible but only part of the spring story.
