Rainfall and rainbow picture roundup
Forecast pollen levels are medium the next few days. Ragweed, sagebrush, and chenopods are the predominant pollen types. Showering and changing after you’ve been outdoors, keeping windows closed when it’s windy, and vacuuming and dusting often will help battle symptoms, in addition to taking allergy medication.
Sun protection is still advised between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.; a hat, light-colored clothing, and sunscreen are important when you’re outside. The UV index is strong enough between noon and 2 p.m. that a sunburn can happen in just 15 minutes.
The air quality forecast is moderate the next few days due to ozone.
