Understanding Allergy Seasons and How Clime Can Help

Allergy seasons are becoming longer and more intense due to climate change. Understanding the timing of these seasons and how to manage symptoms is crucial.

When Do Allergy Seasons Occur?

In the United States, allergy seasons are typically divided into three main periods:

• Spring (Late Winter to Early Spring): Tree pollen is most prevalent during this time.

• Summer (Late Spring to Early Summer): Grass pollen peaks, often on warm, windy days.

• Fall (Late Summer to Early Fall): Weed pollen, especially ragweed, is at its highest.

However, climate change has led to longer and more intense allergy seasons. Between 1970 and 2025, the freeze-free growing season lengthened by an average of 21 days across 87% of U.S. cities analyzed. (climatecentral.org)
