Allergy Forecast: Here’s When Season Will Peak In Massachusetts

It’s officially spring. While that means warmer temps and the start of the slow crawl towards summer, the season also brings allergies.

According to a 2019 allergy forecast from AccuWeather, April and May are when things will get really bad.

The outlook shows that in Massachusetts, allergy season peaks some time in early-to-mid May, during which time allergens will mostly be at a moderate level. Allergens will be at a high level for Southeastern Mass. and part of the Cape.

“From the Gulf Coast through Kentucky and southern Virginia, grass pollen levels will climb to very high levels in April and May thanks to warm air and ample moisture,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Alan Reppert said in the report.

In the Northeast and Midwest, the pollen will “come out quite fast and strong from April into May” after a slight delay thanks to cool temperatures, according to AccuWeather.
