Pollen count Bend residents check each morning
The Bend pollen count today is 5 (Low). No single plant stands out in today’s readings; the Tree category is the one the index is led by. The full split is tree pollen 3, grass pollen 0.6, weed pollen 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 tree pollen, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Bend page.
In the Pacific Northwest, the main outdoor pollen activity is concentrated in spring and early summer — trees first, then grasses — and readings outside that window are commonly low across every category. Cool-season pages in this region are therefore often defined by what is absent: zero or near-zero tree and grass values, with any remaining total carried by small weed or mold readings. That quiet pattern is itself useful information, and it is reported here exactly as modelled.

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

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

Pollen by type in Bend
What is driving Bend’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 5 (Low) is set by tree pollen at 3 (Low on its own scale) — about 71% of the four category readings added together, 2.4 points clear of the next category, 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 Oregon tree chapter runs January 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 Bend, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Oregon guide’s account of Oregon names alder and hazelnut early, then the Willamette Valley’s seed grasses — 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 Bend now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Bend 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.

Bend pollen through the year
Three chapters make the Oregon pollen year, and Bend follows them in the Pacific Northwest order. The tree chapter: alder and hazelnut can start in January west of the Cascades, with maple and oak following through April and May. The grass chapter: grasses run from May, peaking in late spring and early summer. The weed chapter: weeds are the minor act — sagebrush and tumbleweed east of the Cascades carry into September. Mold is the wet-season constant west of the Cascades, where rain crashes counts and the season restarts on the first dry, mild day.
The Willamette Valley grows almost two-thirds of the United States’ cool-season grass seed, and its grass peak ends when the mid-summer harvest cuts the fields and removes the source. East of the Cascades, western juniper’s late-winter-to-spring pollen opens a shorter, compressed high-desert season. The Oregon guide singles out alder and hazelnut early, then the Willamette Valley’s seed grasses.
November falls between the main chapters of the Oregon 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 Oregon year, January to September — leaving a quiet gap of roughly 3 months in the depth of the off-season. The full calendar is set out in the Oregon allergy season guide.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Bend 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.
