Species driving Opal’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 25 (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.

Sagebrush flowers from August into October and peaks in September, and the first hard frost ends it.

The Wyoming allergy season guide singles out sagebrush, the state’s signature allergen, flowering from August into October and peaking in September.
