The Escalating Impact of Climate Change on Allergy Seasons
TL;DR
Experts warn that as temperatures rise, pollen conditions are expected to worsen, leading to longer and more intense allergy seasons, particularly in the southern United States. Virginia Beach, Richmond, and Raleigh have been listed as some of the most challenging cities to manage seasonal pollen allergies, with high levels of pollen reported. Climate change is projected to increase pollen concentrations and extend pollen seasons, causing more people to suffer from allergies and other health effects.
