Buzzline

AccuWeather’s 2026 autumn allergy outlook indicates that pollen from weeds and grasses may pose challenges in various regions of the United States. The peak levels of grass pollen are anticipated in the mid-Atlantic and Midwest areas, including New York City, Philadelphia, Detroit, and Chicago. Additionally, weed pollen is expected to be more prevalent, with significant concentrations likely throughout the Southeast and southern Rockies. Some weed pollen may persist into October, while warmer and wetter conditions could lead to increased spikes. Specialists advise monitoring pollen counts, keeping windows shut, and taking showers after spending time outdoors. Higher pollen levels could particularly affect individuals with asthma or severe allergies.
