do they actually count it, if so how do they do this?

Simply put, its the allergens in the air.
*Im not a meterologist* but I believe they take samples of the air and see how much pollen is in the sample to determine the avereage amount of pollens or allergens in the air. So to answer your question, I guess they are actually counting the pollens in the air samples.

They count the pollen grains in air samples taken from the air in the little weather station box things....The count is very important for those of us with severe allaergies!

They pass a given quantity of air through a filter and count the pollen particles on it (using a microscope)

They use a machine that measures Density in a given Sample. I dont know the name of this machine but it is similar to the Dreagers that are used to measure Chemical Contamination of Atmosphere by the Military
