According to the National Aerobiological Surveillance Network, all departments face a high level of pollen allergy risk . Rains promote the growth of grasses, whose pollen is dispersed by a return to higher temperatures and sunny weather, as reported in the NASR.
Predicted allergic risk is based on measured pollen quantities and weather forecasts.
