NOAA’s Global Systems Laboratory is pioneering a U.S. pollen forecast model that not only predicts pollen levels influenced by weather but also assesses pollen’s impact on weather. This model, part of the RAP-Chem system, aims to help allergy sufferers manage their conditions more effectively by providing advanced warnings and real-time data.

Pollen is an equal opportunity irritant, especially during spring, summer, and fall when wind-blown pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds can be at their highest levels. Accurate pollen forecasts could enable sufferers to reduce their exposure, similar to precautions taken on days with high ozone levels.
The experimental model has been generating pollen forecasts since the summer of 2022, and performs similarly to commercial pollen forecasts.
