Pollen count Fort Ransom residents check each morning
The Fort Ransom pollen count today is 21 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 28 today. That total sits on a narrow base: weed pollen is 28 while tree pollen is just 0.6 and grass pollen 0.6. Plant-by-plant detail for Fort Ransom, ND follows, along with the outlook for the days ahead. Pollen Atlas updated this count on Saturday, November 7, 2026.
A Low band on the Pollen Atlas index means the Total Pollen Index has stayed in the lower part of the 0–100 scale. Readings in this band are built from low individual category values rather than from one large spike, and the category split above matters more than the headline number: a low total can still contain one category, such as weed pollen or mold, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Fort Ransom page.
Fall is ragweed season across most of the United States: ragweed plants release pollen from late summer into autumn, and weed pollen is typically the last major outdoor pollen category to fade as the weather cools. That pattern is why an autumn total is so often weed-led even when the headline number is low — tree and grass pollen have usually receded by then, leaving weed pollen, and on damp days mold, to make up most of what the index records.

Pollen by type in Fort Ransom
What is driving Fort Ransom’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 21 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 28 (Low on its own scale) — about 96% of the four category readings added together, 27.4 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 0.6. 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 runs against the usual calendar — the North Dakota weed chapter runs August to October — so today’s lead is the model outranking the pattern, and this page reports the modelled reading first.
Plant-level detail is not in today’s feed for Fort Ransom, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The North Dakota guide’s account of North Dakota names ragweed, heaviest in the Red River Valley, over river cottonwood and town elm in late spring — 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 5 to 21, never changing band. Today’s 21 sits 9 points above the window’s average of 11.6 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.
Plants affecting Fort Ransom now

Fort Ransom pollen through the year
Chapter by chapter, the Fort Ransom pollen year runs like this:
- River-corridor elm, cottonwood and ash open from March in South Dakota, while North Dakota’s trees flower in late spring, in May.
- Grasses run from May into July, peaking in June and July.
- Ragweed in the east and sagebrush in the west run from August until the first hard frost.
The North Dakota allergy season guide names ragweed, heaviest in the Red River Valley, over river cottonwood and town elm in late spring. North Dakota’s outdoor season is compressed, typically running from late April into October, with hard winters providing a long, genuine off-season. The Red River Valley in the east records the state’s heaviest ragweed, thanks to flat, fertile fields, ditches and disturbed ground.
November falls between the main chapters of the North Dakota pollen year — the tail of one and the approach of the next — so the calendar alone explains little today, and the modelled split above carries the story. Between them, the three chapters cover 8 months of the North Dakota year, March to October — a compressed season, which is why its chapters arrive in quick succession. The full calendar is set out in the North Dakota allergy season guide.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Fort Ransom 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 Fort Ransom, ND 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.
