Pollen count University Park residents check each morning
The University Park pollen count today is 21 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 24 today. That total sits on a narrow base: weed pollen is 24 while tree pollen is just 20 and grass pollen 3. Plant-by-plant detail for University Park, NM follows, along with the outlook for the days ahead. 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 University Park page.
Higher-elevation Mountain West cities generally run a shorter outdoor pollen season than the coasts or the South, with the main tree and grass activity compressed into the warmer months. Autumn and winter pages in this region are therefore commonly quiet, with low totals built from small weed and mold values. A low reading in this region and season is the expected pattern, and any future rise will show first in the category split and the forecast, not in the headline alone.

Pollen by type in University Park
What is driving University Park’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 21 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 24 (Low on its own scale) — about 51% of the four category readings added together, 4 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 20. 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 University Park, 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 21 to 21, never changing band. Today’s 21 sits level with the window’s average of 21 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.
Plants affecting University Park now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for University Park 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 20 (Low).
Grass pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 3 (Low).
Weed pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 24 (Low).
In the Mountain West pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are spring trees and late-spring grasses in a compressed warm-season window — named here as regional context only, not as today\u2019s measurements.
Plant detail returns here automatically on any day the source data includes it.

University Park pollen through the year
Chapter by chapter, the University Park pollen year runs like this:
- Juniper can arrive in late winter, and the main tree wave builds in spring — as late as April at Denver’s altitude.
- Grasses follow in a compressed early-summer run.
- Ragweed and sagebrush-family weeds close the year from late summer.
The New Mexico allergy season guide names juniper and elm in spring, and chenopod and ragweed-family weeds after the monsoon. 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.
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 University Park 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.
University Park in today’s national picture
