Pollen count Kathmandu residents check each morning

The Kathmandu pollen count today is 21 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 24 today. Weed pollen leads the split at 24 (Low on its own scale), followed by tree pollen at 17 and grass pollen at 2. Below, the plant detail and the multi-day outlook show whether today is the pattern or the exception. Pollen Atlas updated this count on Friday, November 6, 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 Kathmandu 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.

This is the pollen count Kathmandu residents check each morning, built from the day’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings.

Short answer for anyone searching pollen count today Kathmandu: this page is updated every morning with the day’s modelled reading.

Kathmandu allergies today

Kathmandu allergies today are set by the same reading as the pollen count above: the Total Pollen Index is 21 (Low), driven mainly by Ragweed. When people ask about Kathmandu allergies, this is the number that answers them — one daily index built from today’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings for Kathmandu.

Allergies in Kathmandu follow the Nepal 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 Kathmandu 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 Kathmandu allergy forecast: today reads 21 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Kathmandu 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 Kathmandu today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.

The Kathmandu allergy count today is 21 (Low) — the same Total Pollen Index as the pollen count above, in one combined reading.

Pollen by type in Kathmandu

What is driving Kathmandu’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 21 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 24 (Low on its own scale) — about 56% of the four category readings added together, 7 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 17. 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 a modelled reading, reported as modelled — no regional calendar is asserted for Nepal, and the modelled value outranks any general seasonal expectation.

Plant-level detail is not in today’s feed for Kathmandu, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above — it shows how much of today’s total each category is actually carrying, and plant detail returns here automatically on any day the feed includes it.

Across the five-day window the Total Pollen Index runs from 9 to 21, never changing band. Today’s 21 sits 3 points above the window’s average of 18 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.

Plants affecting Kathmandu now

Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Kathmandu were not returned in today\u2019s source data, so this section summarises the pollen types the index above is built from instead of listing individual plants.

Tree pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 17 (Low).

Grass pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 2 (Low).

Weed pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 24 (Low).

In the Global pattern, the plants that shape this city’s year vary with its local climate and vegetation, and no single regional calendar is published for this area — named here as regional context only, not as today\u2019s measurements.

Kathmandu pollen through the year

Three chapters make the Nepal pollen year, and Kathmandu follows them in the Global order. The tree chapter: tree pollen seasons vary with local climate and vegetation, so this page reports the measured readings first and treats any calendar as background only. The grass chapter: grass pollen seasons vary with local climate and vegetation, and the measured value outranks any general seasonal expectation. The weed chapter: weed pollen seasons vary with local climate and vegetation, and no regional calendar is asserted for this area.

No Nepal allergy season guide is published yet, so this page does not single out signature pollens for Kathmandu — the calendar above is the Global regional pattern, and the plant detail on this page names what today’s feed actually records.

November in Kathmandu is reported from its modelled readings, not from a regional calendar — no regional calendar is asserted for Nepal, so the calendar alone explains little today, and the modelled split above carries the story. No Nepal allergy season guide is published yet — this calendar follows the Global regional pattern. See Kathmandu pollen count rankings and Kathmandu on the pollen heatmap.

How to read this index

Pollen Atlas reports the Kathmandu 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 Kathmandu, Nepal 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.

Kathmandu in today’s national picture

At 21 (Low), Kathmandu ranks joint 46929th of the 90896 cities Pollen Atlas tracks today — in the middle of the national table. The highest reading in the country today is Beja, Portugal at 52, and the lowest is Los Ángeles de San Rafael, Spain at 5. The whole table spans 47 points today — a wide-open day, when the top and bottom of the table are effectively in different seasons.

Around Kathmandu: Pātan, Nepal (3 km away) reads 21 (Low); Hetauda, Nepal (42 km away) reads 20 (Low); Bharatpur, Nepal (87 km away) reads 23 (Low). Kathmandu reads exactly level with its nearest tracked neighbour today. Across Nepal’s 10 tracked cities, today runs from 19 in Butwāl to 27 in Birgañj.

Pollen totals are population numbers; symptoms are personal. The same reading can leave one Kathmandu resident untouched and floor another, depending on which pollens they are sensitised to. If this pattern finds you every season, allergists in Kathmandu, Nepal 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.
