Pollen count Gulu residents check each morning
The Gulu pollen count today is 17 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 16 today. Grass pollen is the highest single category in the split at 18 (Low), ahead of weed pollen at 16 and tree pollen at 13. Plant-by-plant detail for Gulu, Uganda follows, along with the outlook for the days ahead. 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 grass pollen, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Gulu 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.
To see whether today’s pollen level holds, check the 5-day Gulu pollen forecast below — it is currently mixed, with Sunday the highest day in the window.
This is the pollen count Gulu residents check each morning, built from the day’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings.

Gulu allergies today
Gulu 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 Gulu allergies, this is the number that answers them — one daily index built from today’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings for Gulu.
Allergies in Gulu follow the Uganda 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 Gulu 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 Gulu allergy forecast: today reads 17 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Gulu 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 Gulu today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.
The Gulu allergy count today is 17 (Low) — the same Total Pollen Index as the pollen count above, in one combined reading.

Pollen by type in Gulu
What is driving Gulu’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 17 (Low) is set by grass pollen at 18 (Low on its own scale) — about 38% of the four category readings added together, 2 points clear of the next category, weed pollen at 16. Grass-led totals tend to hold a level for days at a time rather than spike and clear, because grasses pollinate over an extended period. Grass pollen leading in November is a modelled reading, reported as modelled — no regional calendar is asserted for Uganda, and the modelled value outranks any general seasonal expectation.
Plant-level detail is not in today’s feed for Gulu, 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 10 to 24, never changing band. Today’s 17 sits level with the window’s average of 17 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.
Plants affecting Gulu now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Gulu 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.

Grass pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 18 (Low).
Weed pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 16 (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.

Gulu pollen through the year
Chapter by chapter, the Gulu pollen year runs like this:
- Tree pollen seasons vary with local climate and vegetation, so this page reports the measured readings first and treats any calendar as background only.
- Grass pollen seasons vary with local climate and vegetation, and the measured value outranks any general seasonal expectation.
- Weed pollen seasons vary with local climate and vegetation, and no regional calendar is asserted for this area.
No Uganda allergy season guide is published yet, so this page does not single out signature pollens for Gulu — the calendar above is the Global regional pattern, and the plant detail on this page names what today’s feed actually records.
November in Gulu is reported from its modelled readings, not from a regional calendar — no regional calendar is asserted for Uganda, so the calendar alone explains little today, and the modelled split above carries the story. No Uganda allergy season guide is published yet — this calendar follows the Global regional pattern. See Gulu pollen count rankings and Gulu on the pollen heatmap.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Gulu 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 Gulu, Uganda 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.
Gulu in today’s national picture
At 17 (Low), Gulu ranks joint 61701st of the 90896 cities Pollen Atlas tracks today — in the middle of the national table.

Pollen totals are population numbers; symptoms are personal. The same reading can leave one Gulu resident untouched and floor another, depending on which pollens they are sensitised to. If this pattern finds you every season, allergists in Gulu, Uganda 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.
