Short-term relief for Florida allergy-sufferers is coming! Here’s when

Pollen count drops in Orlando area by end of week

Pollen hits Florida.

ORLANDO, Fla. – You’ve seen it all over the place: yellow residue covering just about everything.

If you suffer from allergies, you know the season to date has been brutal. There is, however, a little light in the tunnel. Maybe it’s just a flashlight, but we’ll take what we can get.

Through Wednesday, pollen is expected to remain in the high category. Oak, grasses and bayberry remain the top outdoor allergens.

Pollen count

Changes in the upcoming weather pattern will bring changes to the pollen count.

A large storm system is excepted to move across the Gulf of Mexico, arriving in Florida by Friday.

Rain chances climb to 70%, and pollen levels drop into the moderate category Thursday and Friday.

After the rain, levels drop into the low category to start the weekend.

As the warmth undoubtedly returns, so too will the pollen.

Enjoy the relief while it lasts!
