What is driving Highland Meadows’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 19 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 23 (Low on its own scale) — about 74% of the four category readings added together, 16 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 7. 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 New Mexico 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 Highland Meadows, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The New Mexico guide’s account of New Mexico names juniper and elm in spring, and chenopod and ragweed-family weeds after the monsoon — 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 18 to 21, never changing band. Today’s 19 sits 0 points above the window’s average of 18.8 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Highland Meadows pollen through the year

Three chapters make the New Mexico pollen year, and Highland Meadows follows them in the Mountain West order. The tree chapter: juniper can arrive in late winter, and the main tree wave builds in spring — as late as April at Denver’s altitude. The grass chapter: grasses follow in a compressed early-summer run. The weed chapter: ragweed and sagebrush-family weeds close the year from late summer.

New Mexico’s season runs in two acts with a monsoon intermission from around early July, and its spring winds are the delivery system — sustained, dry and gusty enough to make a windy afternoon and a still morning feel like two different seasons. Albuquerque sits a mile above sea level, and Santa Fe — some two thousand feet higher still — runs the same script a step later and cooler. The New Mexico guide singles out juniper and elm in spring, and chenopod and ragweed-family weeds after the monsoon.

November falls between the main chapters of the New Mexico 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 9 months of the New Mexico year, February to October — leaving a quiet gap of roughly 3 months in the depth of the off-season. The full calendar is set out in the New Mexico allergy season guide.

How to read this index

Pollen Atlas reports the Highland Meadows 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 whatever the month. 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.
