Pollen count Barnwell residents check each morning
The Barnwell pollen count today is 13 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 14 today. Tree pollen is the highest single category in the split at 14 (Low), ahead of weed pollen at 14 and grass pollen at 2. 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 Barnwell 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 Barnwell
What is driving Barnwell’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 13 (Low) is set by tree pollen at 14 (Low on its own scale) — about 47% of the four category readings added together, level with weed pollen at 14. 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 South Carolina tree chapter runs February to May — so today’s lead is the model outranking the pattern, and this page reports the modelled reading first.
In the plant detail, Ragweed (weed) carries the strongest single plant reading, at a Universal Pollen Index of 1 (Very Low). None of the plants in today’s detail is one of the state guide’s signature names for South Carolina — a single day’s detail and a season’s pattern are different lenses, and both are printed on this page for that reason.
Across the five-day window the Total Pollen Index runs from 13 to 18, never changing band. Today’s 13 sits 3 points below the window’s average of 16.4 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Barnwell pollen through the year
Three chapters make the South Carolina pollen year, and Barnwell follows them in the Southeast order. The tree chapter: trees can start as early as February and peak in April. The grass chapter: grasses follow in May and run through the summer. The weed chapter: ragweed runs from mid-August to the first frost. Mold is the quiet fourth player, sustained by river-valley humidity between the pollen waves.
South Carolina’s season opens in February in warm years and can still be going in November in the southern half of the state; Greenville ranked ninth in the AAFA’s 2025 Allergy Capitals report. Warm-season grasses such as Bermuda grass pollinate from late spring deep into summer, with mold layered over the humid middle of the year. The South Carolina guide singles out oak — the pine dust filming cars in the same weeks is a comparatively weak allergen.
November in Barnwell sits inside the weed chapter of the South Carolina year, in its closing weeks — the part of the calendar today’s readings should be judged against. Between them, the three chapters cover 10 months of the South Carolina year, February to November — a long season by national standards, with only a short quiet gap. The full calendar is set out in the South Carolina allergy season guide.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Barnwell 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 Barnwell, SC 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.

If this pattern finds you every ragweed season, allergists in Barnwell, SC 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.
