Pollen count Gann Valley residents check each morning
The Gann Valley pollen count today is 22 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 29 today. Weed pollen leads the split at 29 (Low on its own scale), followed by tree pollen at 0.6 and grass pollen at 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 Saturday, November 7, 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 weed pollen or mold, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Gann Valley 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 Gann Valley
What is driving Gann Valley’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 22 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 29 (Low on its own scale) — about 96% of the four category readings added together, 28.4 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 0.6. 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 runs against the usual calendar — the South Dakota weed chapter runs August to October — 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 Gann Valley, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The South Dakota guide’s account of South Dakota names river-corridor cottonwood, elm and ash in spring, and a divided fall — ragweed in the east, sagebrush in the west — 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 22, never changing band. Today’s 22 sits 10 points above the window’s average of 11.8 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.

Gann Valley pollen through the year
Three chapters make the South Dakota pollen year, and Gann Valley follows them in the Northern Plains order. The tree chapter: river-corridor elm, cottonwood and ash open from March in South Dakota, while North Dakota’s trees flower in late spring, in May. The grass chapter: grasses run from May into July, peaking in June and July. The weed chapter: ragweed in the east and sagebrush in the west run from August until the first hard frost.
The Missouri River splits the state into two regimes: a humid, farmed east where ragweed dominates the fall, and a dry, ranched west ruled by sagebrush, wormwood and Russian thistle. The Black Hills run their own cooler, higher calendar, while the southeastern corner around Sioux Falls starts earliest and finishes latest. The South Dakota guide singles out river-corridor cottonwood, elm and ash in spring, and a divided fall — ragweed in the east, sagebrush in the west.
November falls between the main chapters of the South Dakota 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 South Dakota year, March to October — a compressed season, which is why its chapters arrive in quick succession. The full calendar is set out in the South Dakota allergy season guide.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Gann Valley 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 Gann Valley, SD 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.
