The Southeast and southern Rockies are expected to experience the highest levels of ragweed pollen, with the East and Midwest also seeing prolonged grass pollen seasons. Individuals with allergies, particularly to ragweed, may face heightened symptoms such as sneezing, itchy eyes, and nasal congestion. Children and individuals with asthma are at increased risk of respiratory issues due to airborne allergens like ragweed and mold spores. While dry conditions in the northern U.S. may limit pollen levels, the warm and wet weather in other regions is likely to exacerbate allergy symptoms for many.
