Allergy Sufferers Beware: High Pollen Counts Expected

It may be summer, but unfortunately that doesn’t mean it’s not allergy season.

Along with high temperatures this week, looks like pollen levels are going to be pretty high, and that’s not fun for allergy sufferers.

The amount of pollen in the air starting on Monday will be on the increase in the high range, according to Pollen.com.

The increase is due to higher temperatures and the lower dewpoint, making the upcoming days more difficult for those with allergies.

Predominant pollens right now are nettles, grasses and ragweed.

Here’s a look at pollen counts through much of the upcoming week:

• Monday: 9.2
• Tuesday: 9.3
• Wednesday: 10.4
• Thursday: 9.8
• Friday: 9.9
