When people ask about Cape Colony allergies, this is the number that answers them — one daily index built from today’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings for Cape Colony.

Allergies in Cape Colony follow the North Carolina 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 Cape Colony 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 Cape Colony allergy forecast: today reads 8 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Cape Colony 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.

In practice, the allergy count Cape Colony today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.

What is driving Cape Colony’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 8 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 10 (Low on its own scale) — about 59% of the four category readings added together, 5 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 5. 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 North Carolina 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 Cape Colony, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The North Carolina guide’s account of North Carolina names oak-family pollens — not the visible pine dust, which is a weak allergen flowering in the same weeks — 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 8 to 19, never changing band. Today’s 8 sits 7 points below the window’s average of 14.6 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.

Cape Colony pollen through the year

Three chapters make the North Carolina pollen year, and Cape Colony 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.

Charlotte and Raleigh often peak on the same warm, dry spring days, because the same Piedmont tree mix dominates both metros — and Raleigh placed in the national top ten of the AAFA’s 2025 Allergy Capitals report. The Piedmont’s spring Tree Index peaks weeks before the mountain season at higher elevations, and weeks after the coastal plain begins. The North Carolina guide singles out oak-family pollens — not the visible pine dust, which is a weak allergen flowering in the same weeks.

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

How to read this index

Pollen Atlas reports the Cape Colony 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 Cape Colony, NC 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.
