Allergies in Skene 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 Skene 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 Skene allergy forecast: today reads 28 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Skene 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 Skene’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 28 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 34 (Low on its own scale) — about 65% of the four category readings added together, 21 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 13. 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 Skene, 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 25 to 28, never changing band. Today’s 28 sits 1 point above the window’s average of 26.6 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Skene pollen through the year

Three chapters make the Mississippi pollen year, and Skene follows them in the Southeast order. The tree chapter: trees can start as early as February and peak in April. The grass chapter: grasses follow in May and run through the summer. The weed chapter: ragweed runs from mid-August to the first frost. Mold is the quiet fourth player, sustained by river-valley humidity between the pollen waves.

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. The Mississippi guide singles out oak, pine and hickory in spring — the famous yellow pine dust is highly visible but only part of the spring story.

November in Skene 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 Skene 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 Skene, 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 Skene resident untouched and floor another, depending on which pollens they are sensitised to. If this pattern finds you every ragweed season, allergists in Skene, 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.
