What is driving Great Falls’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 5 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 6 (Low on its own scale) — about 50% of the four category readings added together, 1 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 5. 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 is the South Carolina calendar working as expected — November falls in the closing weeks of the state’s weed chapter.

Plant-level detail is not in today’s feed for Great Falls, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The South Carolina guide’s account of South Carolina names oak — the pine dust filming cars in the same weeks is a comparatively weak allergen — 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 14, never changing band. Today’s 5 sits 7 points below the window’s average of 11.8 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.

Great Falls pollen through the year

Three chapters make the South Carolina pollen year, and Great Falls 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 Great Falls 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 Great Falls 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 Great Falls, 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.
