*Currently, there is not a government source for allergy risk. The resource we chose to list here is produced by IBM and an algorithm they developed to estimate allergy risk based on weather data predictive of allergy triggers such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind, and dew point. Pollen levels are also available but were not found by their research to be a good predictor of seasonal allergy risk. Read more here.
