What is driving Portage’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 21 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 27 (Low on its own scale) — about 96% of the four category readings added together, 26.4 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 Utah 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 Portage, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Utah guide’s account of Utah names planted elm, maple, ash and poplars in spring, and chenopod and sagebrush-country weeds at the close — 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 21 to 23, never changing band. Today’s 21 sits 0 points below the window’s average of 21.4 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Plants affecting Portage now

Portage pollen through the year

Three chapters make the Utah pollen year, and Portage follows them in the Mountain West order. The tree chapter: juniper can arrive in late winter, and the main tree wave builds in spring — as late as April at Denver’s altitude. The grass chapter: grasses follow in a compressed early-summer run. The weed chapter: ragweed and sagebrush-family weeds close the year from late summer.

Most Utahns live along the Wasatch Front, in high-desert bowls where winter inversions pool cold air — and the same held-air geography shapes how local pollen lingers. The benches — old lake terraces climbing the foothills — can stand above an inversion pool in cleaner air while the valley floor sits in the murk, so a street’s elevation can matter as much as its trees. The Utah guide singles out planted elm, maple, ash and poplars in spring, and chenopod and sagebrush-country weeds at the close.

November falls between the main chapters of the Utah 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 9 months of the Utah year, February to October — leaving a quiet gap of roughly 3 months in the depth of the off-season. The full calendar is set out in the Utah allergy season guide.

How to read this index

Pollen Atlas reports the Portage 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.

Pollen totals are population numbers; symptoms are personal. The same reading can leave one Portage resident untouched and floor another, depending on which pollens they are sensitised to.
