Allergies & Pollen for Mattapoisett Center, Massachusetts
Discussion
The amount of pollen in the air for Sunday will be increasing in the high range. This results in part from higher temperatures and the lower dewpoint. Tomorrow's increase could spell trouble for allergy sufferers.
Allergy Facts
Although pollen grains can often travel extreme distances from the plants that shed them, grass pollen tends to stay near its source. One study demonstrated that 99% of grass pollen remains within a mile of the plants that shed it. This suggests that the cause of grass pollen allergies is probably right outside your door -- perhaps the front lawn or some roadside grasses.
