Hot, dry afternoons could affect your allergies – WHIO TV 7 and WHIO Radio

DAYTON — After some rain earlier this week, pollen counts increased thanks to warm, dry afternoons. Currently, tree and grass pollen are in the “very high” category, while weed pollen remains “high.”

Mold pollen is currently zero, but the main culprits for pollen counts are mulberry, pine, maple and Poaceae, according to the RAPCA sensor.

For the pollen to come down and give us temporary relief, we could use rain. Often in spring, when pollen counts briefly decrease in rain, they quickly increase again when the weather returns. As trees, flowers, grasses and other plants continue to bloom and grow rapidly, pollen counts will remain high for some time.

Rain chances are higher Saturday evening and again Tuesday and Wednesday next week. Meanwhile, pollen concentrations will likely remain high through the first week of June.
