Pollen count Sandnes residents check each morning
The Sandnes pollen count today is 36 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 43 today. Weed pollen leads the split at 43 (Moderate on its own scale), followed by grass pollen at 27 and tree pollen at 0.6. 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 Sandnes 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 Sandnes
What is driving Sandnes’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 36 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 43 (Moderate on its own scale) — about 61% of the four category readings added together, 16 points clear of the next category, grass pollen at 27. 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 Norway weed chapter runs August to September — 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 Sandnes, 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 23 to 36, changing band 1 time. Today’s 36 sits 3 points above the window’s average of 32.8 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.
Plants affecting Sandnes now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Sandnes 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.

Sandnes pollen through the year
Three chapters make the Norway pollen year, and Sandnes follows them in the Nordic & Baltic North order. The tree chapter: the season is compressed: alder stirs first, and birch — the region’s signature spring pollen — peaks through May into early June. The grass chapter: grasses own a brief early-summer peak, cresting around the first hay cutting in June and July. The weed chapter: mugwort runs through August, and ragweed is scarce at these latitudes — the late window is short and light. Mold rises late in the short season, from decaying vegetation as the brief summer closes.
No Norway allergy season guide is published yet, so this page does not single out signature pollens for Sandnes — the calendar above is the Nordic & Baltic North regional pattern, and the plant detail on this page names what today’s feed actually records.
November falls between the main chapters of the Norway 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 6 months of the Norway year, April to September — a compressed season, which is why its chapters arrive in quick succession. No Norway allergy season guide is published yet — this calendar follows the Nordic & Baltic North regional pattern. See Sandnes pollen count rankings and Sandnes on the pollen heatmap.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Sandnes 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 Sandnes, Norway 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.
Sandnes in today’s national picture
At 36 (Low), Sandnes ranks joint 6835th of the 90896 cities Pollen Atlas tracks today — in the middle of the national table.

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