Michiganders are among millions of Americans that may be in for a brutal allergy season this spring.

According to AccuWeather meteorologists, 193 million people from Texas to Michigan on east “should brace for a long and severe season this spring” since predicted above-normal rainfall and near-average temperatures mean much of the region will be ripe for tree, weed and grass pollen production.

Above-average pollen levels are predicted for that portion of the country, which means sneezing, sniffles, coughing and itchy eyes may be common from those that suffer from seasonal allergies.

“Grass pollen sufferers will face a long and severe season into summer,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alan Reppert said.

“With above-normal rainfall and near-average temperatures for much of spring, we will have plenty of tree growth in the Southeast and even pushing into the southern Plains and mid-Atlantic. This will bring a severe tree pollen season to much of the East and the Gulf coastline.”

Spring to get its earliest start in more than a century

More than 50 million Americans, including millions of children, suffer from seasonal allergies.

If you are one of these people, seeing a certified allergist may help since they are able to create a tailored treatment plan involving preemptive medication and immunotherapy.

You can also help yourself by avoiding going outdoors at peak times of day for pollen, which typically falls between 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. and at dusk.

Warm and windy days can also often exacerbate conditions for allergy sufferers, according to AccuWeather experts.
