Pollen count Union residents check each morning
The Union 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. Plant-by-plant detail for Union, OR 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 tree pollen, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Union 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 Union residents check each morning, built from the day’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings.

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

Pollen by type in Union
What is driving Union’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 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 Union, 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 Union now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Union 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 Pacific Northwest pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are spring trees and late-spring grasses in the Pacific Northwest pattern — named here as regional context only, not as today\u2019s measurements.
Plant detail returns here automatically on any day the source data includes it.

Union pollen through the year
Chapter by chapter, the Union pollen year runs like this:
- Alder and hazelnut can start in January west of the Cascades, with maple and oak following through April and May.
- Grasses run from May, peaking in late spring and early summer.
- 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 Oregon allergy season guide names alder and hazelnut early, then the Willamette Valley’s seed grasses. 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.
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 Union 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.
Union in today’s national picture
At 5 (Low), Union ranks joint 86157th of the 90896 cities Pollen Atlas tracks today — in the middle of the national table. The highest reading in the country today is Serpa, Portugal at 53, and the lowest is Galiakberovo, Russia at 5. The whole table spans 48 points today — a wide-open day, when the top and bottom of the table are effectively in different seasons.
Around Union: Cove, OR (7 miles away) reads 5 (Low); Island City, OR (12 miles away) reads 5 (Low); North Powder, OR (13 miles away) reads 5 (Low). Union reads exactly level with its nearest tracked neighbour today. Across Oregon’s 426 tracked cities, today runs from 5 in Bend to 31 in Woodburn.
Pollen totals are population numbers; symptoms are personal. The same reading can leave one Union resident untouched and floor another, depending on which pollens they are sensitised to. If this pattern finds you every season, allergists in Union, OR 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.
