Pollen count Homer residents check each morning
The Homer pollen count today is 5 (Low). No single plant stands out in today’s readings; the Grass category is the one the index is led by. Tree pollen is the highest single category in the split at 0.6 (Low), ahead of grass pollen at 0.6 and weed pollen at 0.6. The sections below break that headline number down by plant, by day and by what the band means in practice. 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 tree pollen, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Homer page.
Outside its main late-spring and early-summer window, grass pollen usually appears as a small background value rather than the driver of the total. A low grass reading alongside a higher weed or mold value is a typical off-peak pattern. Grass should be read from its own value on this page, not assumed from the calendar: the index reports today’s modelled value, and the modelled value outranks any general seasonal expectation.

Homer allergies today
Homer allergies today are set by the same reading as the pollen count above: the Total Pollen Index is 5 (Low), driven mainly by Grass. When people ask about Homer allergies, this is the number that answers them — one daily index built from today’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings for Homer.
Allergies in Homer follow the New York 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 Homer 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 Homer allergy forecast: today reads 5 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Homer 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 Homer today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.
The Homer allergy count today is 5 (Low) — the same Total Pollen Index as the pollen count above, in one combined reading.

Pollen by type in Homer
What is driving Homer’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 5 (Low) is set by tree pollen at 0.6 (Low on its own scale) — about 33% of the four category readings added together, level with grass pollen at 0.6. Tree readings are the fastest-moving of the four in their season, because species pollinate in sequence — a tree-led total can change character within a week. Tree pollen leading in November runs against the usual calendar — the New York tree chapter runs March to May — 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 Homer, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The New York guide’s account of New York names birch and oak, preceded by elm and maple — 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 5, never changing band. Today’s 5 sits level with the window’s average of 5 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.
Plants affecting Homer now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Homer 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 0.6 (Low).
Grass pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 0.6 (Low).
Weed pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 0.6 (Low).
In the Northeast pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are spring trees, late-spring grasses and late-summer ragweed — named here as regional context only, not as today\u2019s measurements.

Homer pollen through the year
The Homer pollen year runs in chapters, set by the Northeast pattern and the New York calendar. Trees come first: trees open in late March and build to an oak-led peak in May. Grasses take the middle of the year: grasses hold from late May into July. Weeds close it out: ragweed builds from mid-August, peaks in September, and is ended by the first hard frost. Mold tracks the region’s humidity rather than a flowering calendar, and it fills the gaps between chapters.
The New York allergy season guide names birch and oak, preceded by elm and maple. New York City’s tree season typically opens one to three weeks ahead of Rochester’s, where Lake Ontario’s cold air delays spring along the shore. The AAFA’s 2025 report ranked New York City in the less-challenging half of its 100 metros, reflecting moderate overall burden despite a real spring peak.
November falls between the main chapters of the New York 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 New York year, March to October — a compressed season, which is why its chapters arrive in quick succession. The full calendar is set out in the New York allergy season guide.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Homer 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.
