Pollen count Waterbury Center residents check each morning
The Waterbury Center pollen count today is 5 (Low). No single plant stands out in today’s readings; the Grass category is the one the index is led by. The full split is tree pollen 0.6, grass pollen 4, weed pollen 0.6. Below, the plant detail and the multi-day outlook show whether today is the pattern or the exception. Pollen Atlas updated this count on Monday, November 9, 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 Waterbury Center page.
Outside its main late-spring and early-summer window, grass pollen usually appears as a small background value rather than the driver of the total. A low grass reading alongside a higher weed or mold value is a typical off-peak pattern. Grass should be read from its own value on this page, not assumed from the calendar: the index reports today’s modelled value, and the modelled value outranks any general seasonal expectation.

Pollen by type in Waterbury Center
What is driving Waterbury Center’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 5 (Low) is set by grass pollen at 4 (Low on its own scale) — about 77% of the four category readings added together, 3.4 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 0.6. 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 runs against the usual calendar — the Vermont grass chapter runs June to July — 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 Waterbury Center, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Vermont guide’s account of Vermont names birch — among the most potent tree pollens in the North — dominating April into May, after sugar maple from March — 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 5 to 5, never changing band. Today’s 5 sits level with the window’s average of 5 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Waterbury Center pollen through the year
Three chapters make the Vermont pollen year, and Waterbury Center follows them in the Northern New England order. The tree chapter: alder and maple stir in late March in the south, and the burst crests through April and May — birch above all, with maple and oak — later with every mile north. The grass chapter: hayfield and pasture grasses own June and July, cresting around the first hay cutting. The weed chapter: ragweed runs August into September and is ended by an early first frost — earliest inland and in the north. Mold bookends the year — mud-season stirrings in March and leaf-litter mold returning in the fall — and the coast trades some pollen intensity for fog, damp and summer mold.
The Lake Champlain valley runs the state’s earliest, longest season, while the Northeast Kingdom runs its latest and shortest, with the Green Mountains sorting the two. Summer belongs to grass from dairy hayfields — timothy, orchard grass and their kin — cresting around the first hay cutting in June and July. The Vermont guide singles out birch — among the most potent tree pollens in the North — dominating April into May, after sugar maple from March.
November falls between the main chapters of the Vermont 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 7 months of the Vermont year, March to September — a compressed season, which is why its chapters arrive in quick succession. The full calendar is set out in the Vermont allergy season guide.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Waterbury Center 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.
