Recent reports indicate that the allergy season has intensified this year, with pollen levels reaching extreme highs across various regions. The warmer winter has contributed to a longer allergy season, increasing pollen counts by over 20%. Experts predict that the peak of the season will last another 3 to 4 weeks, with improvements expected by May. The changes in seasonality, with allergy seasons starting earlier and lasting longer, are attributed to climate change. This trend has led to increased discomfort for allergy sufferers, especially in areas like Maryland where tree pollen has hit peak levels. Additionally, some parts of the U.S. now experience pollen year-round, affecting the 20 worst cities for allergy sufferers.
Looking at the pollen history since March, it's either High or Low around these parts. There's no in-between. You feeling it too? https://t.co/jyBaz1er94

Feel like your #pollen #allergies are worse? Read on. “Seasons now start 20d earlier than they did in 1990, & last ~8d longer. Meanwhile, there’s ~20% more pollen filling the air. Much of that shift is due to #climatechange.” @lisamjarvis #MedTwitter https://t.co/nR7cJk5eyU

EXTREME LEVELS OF TREE POLLEN: This is about as bad as it gets when it comes to tree pollen across Maryland. We're hitting peak levels. Over the next few weeks, levels will start to come down. Then it's all about grass and weed pollen as we head towards summer. @WJZ https://t.co/AlgvP4kPKq

Pollen is about as bad as it gets throughout the year right now. Once we get to May, it will start to improve. Until then.... https://t.co/xvsBA0Qjhk
#Pollen is off the charts right now, and we are at the peak of the season; it will be another 3 to 4 weeks, and we should be mostly done. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx https://t.co/izn7dhTBwk
Yup, it's springtime! Temperatures will soar to near 80 degrees this afternoon, but the pollen levels are soaring as well. Trees, grass and weeds are all at the extreme level! 🤧 https://t.co/teXT51um6C
