Forecast pollen levels are "extreme" this week, and ragweed, olive, and grasses are the predominant pollen types. Showering and changing after you've been outdoors, keeping windows closed when it's windy, and vacuuming and dusting more often will help battle symptoms, in addition to taking allergy medication.
The air quality forecast is "unhealthy for sensitive groups" today due to dust, and "moderate" tomorrow due to ozone.
