Pollen count Dakar residents check each morning
The Dakar pollen count today is 25 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 27 today. Weed pollen leads the split at 27 (Low on its own scale), followed by grass pollen at 20 and tree pollen at 19. 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 weed pollen or mold, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Dakar 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.

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

Short answer for anyone searching pollen count today Dakar: this page is updated every morning with the day’s modelled reading.
Dakar allergies today
Dakar allergies today are set by the same reading as the pollen count above: the Total Pollen Index is 25 (Low), driven mainly by Ragweed. When people ask about Dakar allergies, this is the number that answers them — one daily index built from today’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings for Dakar.
Allergies in Dakar follow the Senegal 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 Dakar 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 Dakar allergy forecast: today reads 25 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Dakar 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 Dakar today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.
The Dakar allergy count today is 25 (Low) — the same Total Pollen Index as the pollen count above, in one combined reading.

Pollen by type in Dakar
What is driving Dakar’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 25 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 27 (Low on its own scale) — about 41% of the four category readings added together, 7 points clear of the next category, grass pollen at 20. 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 a modelled reading, reported as modelled — no regional calendar is asserted for Senegal, and the modelled value outranks any general seasonal expectation.
Plant-level detail is not in today’s feed for Dakar, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above — it shows how much of today’s total each category is actually carrying, and plant detail returns here automatically on any day the feed includes it.
Across the five-day window the Total Pollen Index runs from 24 to 25, never changing band. Today’s 25 sits 1 point above the window’s average of 24.4 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.
Plants affecting Dakar now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Dakar 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 19 (Low).
Grass pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 20 (Low).
Weed pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 27 (Low).
In the Global pattern, the plants that shape this city’s year vary with its local climate and vegetation, and no single regional calendar is published for this area — named here as regional context only, not as today\u2019s measurements.

Dakar pollen through the year
Three chapters make the Senegal pollen year, and Dakar follows them in the Global order. The tree chapter: tree pollen seasons vary with local climate and vegetation, so this page reports the measured readings first and treats any calendar as background only. The grass chapter: grass pollen seasons vary with local climate and vegetation, and the measured value outranks any general seasonal expectation. The weed chapter: weed pollen seasons vary with local climate and vegetation, and no regional calendar is asserted for this area.
No Senegal allergy season guide is published yet, so this page does not single out signature pollens for Dakar — the calendar above is the Global regional pattern, and the plant detail on this page names what today’s feed actually records.
November in Dakar is reported from its modelled readings, not from a regional calendar — no regional calendar is asserted for Senegal, so the calendar alone explains little today, and the modelled split above carries the story. No Senegal allergy season guide is published yet — this calendar follows the Global regional pattern. See Dakar pollen count rankings and Dakar on the pollen heatmap.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Dakar 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 Dakar, Senegal 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.
Dakar in today’s national picture
At 25 (Low), Dakar ranks joint 36055th 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 Dakar: Pikine, Senegal (10 km away) reads 25 (Low); Guédiawaye, Senegal (10 km away) reads 25 (Low); Rufisque, Senegal (19 km away) reads 25 (Low). Dakar reads exactly level with its nearest tracked neighbour today. Across Senegal’s 11 tracked cities, today runs from 23 in Thiès Nones to 26 in Saint-Louis.
Pollen totals are population numbers; symptoms are personal. The same reading can leave one Dakar resident untouched and floor another, depending on which pollens they are sensitised to. If this pattern finds you every season, allergists in Dakar, Senegal 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.
