Cambridge Ragweed Pollen Count: 5-Day Forecast

Pollen Atlas models the daily detail as an overall index: day-by-day splits by individual pollen type are not part of the modelled data, so this table shows Cambridge’s overall trend across the week. Today’s ragweed pollen reading is the headline above.

Species driving Cambridge’s ragweed pollen

Species-level counts are not part of the modelled data Pollen Atlas publishes — the modelled index is reported per pollen type, not per species — so this section gives the type summary: ragweed pollen reads 0.6 (Low) today. The plant-by-plant detail that is available, from the Google Pollen API, is in the next section.

How to read this: the “ragweed” figure on this site is the modelled weed pollen index — the weed group (ragweed + mugwort) — printed under the ragweed name the rankings use.

Enjoy outdoor activities.

Ragweed runs August into September and is ended by an early first frost — earliest inland and in the north. This month sits outside the usual ragweed pollen window for the Northern New England pattern, so today’s ragweed pollen reading is the modelled value outranking the calendar — this page reports the modelled reading first. The Vermont allergy season guide singles out birch — among the most potent tree pollens in the North — dominating April into May, after sugar maple from March.
