While the app already provides static pollen counts, its \u201cHealth &amp; Wellness\u201d section is being expanded to take into account other factors such as how changing weather conditions could result in you experiencing more symptoms despite the counts not actually rising.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The new features now available in the free version of The Weather Channel app include \u201cweather aggravator insights\u201d that analyze how conditions like high winds or humidity levels can make airborne allergens feel like they\u2019re having a greater affect, and a daily forecast of expected peak pollen levels so you\u2019ll know when they\u2019ll be at their highest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Hyperlocal pollen forecasts based on your ZIP code reveal expected levels in your specific neighborhood while the app will share easy to understand graphics indicating if allergy risks are higher, lower, or the same as yesterday. Pollen tracking is also being added to the app\u2019s five-day weather forecasts so you have a better understanding of how comfortable your week will be, and you\u2019ll also be able to compare recent allergy forecasts to a past decade of historical pollen count data in your area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Those paying the $4.99\/per month or $29.99\/year subscription for The Weather Channel app\u2019s premium features will get even more details about allergens. Instead of the app providing vague tree pollen warnings, later this summer it will identify specific species such as cedar or oak to help you better understand what plants are actually causing your symptoms. The app will also add hourly pollen radar layers, hourly pollen forecasts for the next 24 hours, plus a symptom tracker so you can potentially correlate how you\u2019re feeling to what\u2019s going on outside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Weather Company announced an \u201cenhanced allergy experience\u201d now available through its The Weather Channel app designed to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":730381,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[16555,64,63,203,44,128,1996,105],"class_list":["post-730380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-apps","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mobile","tag-news","tag-science","tag-tech","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=730380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730380\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/730381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=730380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=730380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=730380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
