Species driving Dorset’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.

What this ragweed pollen level means
Low risk. Keep windows open; consider allergy meds only if sensitive.
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.
Dorset allergies today
Dorset allergies today are set by the same reading as the Dorset pollen count today: the Total Pollen Index is 5 (Low), and the ragweed pollen index on this page is 0.6 (Low) of it. When people ask about Dorset allergies, this is the number that answers them — one daily modelled index built from today’s tree, grass and weed index values for Dorset.
Allergies in Dorset follow the Vermont calendar set out on the full Dorset page — the chapters, the plants behind them, and the 5-day forecast show whether today is typical for the season or an exception to it. If you are checking allergies today in Dorset before heading outdoors, the ragweed pollen split on this page is the part to read: it shows whether this pollen type is doing the work today, not just how high the total sits.
Read the five-day overall trend above as the Dorset allergy forecast for the ragweed pollen season: it shows whether Dorset allergies are set to ease or build across the week, day by day — the days to plan outdoor time around are the ones where the overall index steps down, not just today.
