Pollen count Portbou residents check each morning
The Portbou pollen count today is 52 (Moderate). No single plant stands out in today’s readings; the Tree category is the one the index is led by. The full split is tree pollen 64, grass pollen 3, weed pollen 23. The sections below break that headline number down by plant, by day and by what the band means in practice. Pollen Atlas updated this count on Friday, November 6, 2026.
A Moderate band means the Total Pollen Index sits in the middle of the 0–100 scale — neither a quiet day nor a peak day. On moderate days the split usually explains the total: one or two categories do most of the work while the others stay low. The Portbou split above shows exactly which categories those are today, and the forecast below shows whether the moderate reading is a plateau or a step toward a higher band.
Today’s reading for this city is quiet across the board, and a quiet day is best understood comparatively: the split shows no category carrying the total, and the plant section shows nothing reading high. Seasonal expectations set the background — which pollen types are common in this region at this time of year — but they never override the modelled value. This page reports the modelled reading first, and uses seasonal context only to explain the shape of the numbers it has already shown.

Pollen by type in Portbou
What is driving Portbou’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 52 (Moderate) is set by tree pollen at 64 (High on its own scale) — about 71% of the four category readings added together, 41 points clear of the next category, weed pollen at 23. 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 Spain 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 Portbou, 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 42 to 52, never changing band. Today’s 52 sits 4 points above the window’s average of 48 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.

Portbou pollen through the year
The Portbou pollen year runs in chapters, set by the Mediterranean pattern and the Spain calendar. Trees come first: cypress opens the year in winter, hazel and alder follow early, and olive carries the spring peak from April into May. Grasses take the middle of the year: grasses build from spring and peak from April into June, earlier in the south. Weeds close it out: weeds — pellitory through the warm months and ragweed in late summer where it has spread — close a long season that can run into November.
No Spain allergy season guide is published yet, so this page does not single out signature pollens for Portbou — the calendar above is the Mediterranean regional pattern, and the plant detail on this page names what today’s feed actually records.
November in Portbou sits inside the weed chapter of the Spain 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 Spain year, January to November — a long season by national standards, with only a short quiet gap. No Spain allergy season guide is published yet — this calendar follows the Mediterranean regional pattern. See Portbou pollen count rankings and Portbou on the pollen heatmap.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Portbou 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.
