Breathe Better This Fall with Essential Candy’s Botanical Lozenges
As autumn sweeps across the United States, it brings crisp mornings, colorful leaves, and the unmistakable scent of fall in the air. But for many, the season also comes with challenges: shifting weather patterns, extended pollen seasons, and the increased time spent indoors that can all impact our sense of wellness.
High Ragweed Pollen Levels in Many Areas
AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alan Reppert notes that regions east of the Mississippi River are forecasted to experience high ragweed pollen levels this fall. While the Northeast has passed the peak, lingering warmth and moisture continue to drive elevated pollen counts.
In the Southeast, the arrival of crisp, cool autumn air is often delayed, which means frost comes later. Without frost to bring pollen levels down, the season extends into late October and even November. Historically, the first frost doesn’t arrive until mid-fall in this region, leaving many with a longer exposure window.
Unusually High Pollen Levels in Some Western Areas
Certain western regions—from southern Idaho to far western Arizona—are also seeing higher-than-usual pollen levels this year. The culprit? Wetter-than-average conditions that encourage ragweed and other weeds to thrive. After storms, pollen levels can surge, making these areas particularly challenging.
Relief in Drier Regions
Not all regions face the same issues. In California, dry weather patterns help keep pollen counts low. And in the Northwest, pollen levels remain close to historical averages, meaning a more manageable season for many.
Central U.S. Seasonal Shifts
For those in the central states, cooler air arriving in late September and early October may help ease ragweed pollen exposure. But as windows close and more time is spent indoors, other triggers—like dust and pet dander—can become noticeable.
