Rain is likely Thursday (89% chance). The hour or two right after it stops is usually the cleanest air of the day. Plan around Friday though. Pollen often climbs the day after rain, when plants use the moisture to release a fresh burst.

Winds could reach 21 mph Friday. Gusts carry pollen miles from the plant that released it, so a windy day can feel worse than the count suggests.

Frequently Asked Questions

When pollen keeps winning, see an allergist

Pollen shifts week to week in Lincolnshire. If cetirizine (Zyrtec) or a steroid nasal spray stopped holding your symptoms down, or they drag on for months at a time, a board-certified allergist can test exactly what you react to and treat the cause instead of the symptom.
