Summary
Birch, oak and maple pollen are expected to keep allergy levels moderate to high across Maine this week, with warm air and shifting weather patterns worsening symptoms.
Temperatures in the 70s and 80s on Monday will pair with a very high UV index of 9, adding sun exposure risks for people spending time outside.
Dew points are forecast to approach 60 along the coast by Wednesday and near 70 by Thursday, making conditions feel increasingly sticky and uncomfortable.
Wednesday afternoon storms, followed by additional showers and thunderstorms Thursday and Friday, are expected as a midweek frontal passage moves through.
Low 90s are possible in some inland areas late in the week, extending a rough stretch of heat, humidity and allergens for Maine residents.
