Pollen count Spring residents check each morning
The Spring pollen count today is 17 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 18 today. Tree pollen is the highest single category in the split at 19 (Low), ahead of weed pollen at 18 and grass pollen at 6. 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 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 Spring 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 Spring residents check each morning, built from the day’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings.

Short answer for anyone searching pollen count today Spring: this page is updated every morning with the day’s modelled reading.
Spring allergies today
Spring allergies today are set by the same reading as the pollen count above: the Total Pollen Index is 17 (Low), driven mainly by Ragweed. When people ask about Spring allergies, this is the number that answers them — one daily index built from today’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings for Spring.
Allergies in Spring follow the Texas 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 Spring 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 Spring allergy forecast: today reads 17 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Spring 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 Spring today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.
The Spring allergy count today is 17 (Low) — the same Total Pollen Index as the pollen count above, in one combined reading.

Pollen by type in Spring
What is driving Spring’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 17 (Low) is set by tree pollen at 19 (Low on its own scale) — about 44% of the four category readings added together, 1 points clear of the next category, weed pollen at 18. 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 Texas tree chapter runs December 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 2 (Low), followed by Elm at 1. Ragweed is among the pollens the Texas guide singles out for Texas, so today’s detail lines up with the state’s usual drivers.
Across the five-day window the Total Pollen Index runs from 13 to 18, never changing band. Today’s 17 sits 1 point above the window’s average of 16 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Spring pollen through the year
The Spring pollen year runs in chapters, set by the Gulf & South Texas pattern and the Texas calendar. Trees come first: mountain cedar runs from December to March in the west of the region, and oak leads the spring. Grasses take the middle of the year: grasses carry the hot months, with mold close behind in the Gulf humidity. Weeds close it out: ragweed runs from August toward a mild, late finish. Outdoor mold stays elevated for much of the year in the Gulf humidity and can co-headline a reading in any month.
The Texas allergy season guide names mountain cedar — Ashe juniper — in winter, oak in spring and ragweed from August. Texas runs four seasons back to back — cedar from December to March, oak and other trees in spring, grasses through summer, ragweed to the first frost — so its true low window is short. Pollen seasons are generally growing longer and more intense across the Northern Hemisphere, research by Ziska and colleagues (2019) found — a trend Texas’s near-year-round calendar already illustrates.
November in Spring sits inside the weed chapter of the Texas year, in its closing weeks — the part of the calendar today’s readings should be judged against. Between them, the three chapters touch every month of the Texas year — there is no reliably empty month in this calendar. The full calendar is set out in the Texas allergy season guide.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Spring 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 Spring, TX 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.
Spring in today’s national picture
At 17 (Low), Spring ranks joint 60578th 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 Spring: Porter Heights, TX (7 miles away) reads 18 (Low); Oak Ridge North, TX (7 miles away) reads 17 (Low); Humble, TX (9 miles away) reads 23 (Low). Spring reads 1 point lower than its nearest tracked neighbour today. Across Texas’s 1843 tracked cities, today runs from 8 in Rockport to 42 in Gunter.
Pollen totals are population numbers; symptoms are personal. The same reading can leave one Spring resident untouched and floor another, depending on which pollens they are sensitised to. If this pattern finds you every ragweed season, allergists in Spring, TX 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.
