New pollen forecasts for your neighborhood and environmental insights look beyond standard pollen counts to help understand symptoms and plan your day

ATLANTA, June 11, 2026 – For millions of allergy sufferers, the most frustrating part of the season isn’t just the symptoms, but the uncertainty. Symptoms can feel dramatically different from one day to the next, even when pollen counts appear the same. To help bring peace of mind back to daily planning, The Weather Channel® app on iOS and Android – the flagship consumer app of The Weather Company – launched an enhanced allergy experience designed to help users better understand seasonal symptoms and plan accordingly.

Featuring new hyperlocal pollen forecasts, Weather Aggravator Insights™ and historical pollen data, the experience helps explain how and why pollen conditions may differ throughout the week. While pollen is often the primary culprit, changing weather conditions can also influence how allergens spread through the environment and how symptoms are experienced. The redesigned allergy experience brings these factors together in a more intuitive and personalized way, helping users better understand local conditions and plan accordingly.

“Anyone with seasonal allergies knows the frustration of experiencing a sudden flare-up when they least expect it. Traditional, static pollen counts only tell half the story,” said Dr. Lauriana Gaudet, meteorologist at The Weather Company who helped create the allergy experience. “Factors like wind, humidity and precipitation influence how pollen moves through the environment, and conditions can vary even across a single city based on local weather patterns, vegetation and microclimates. By bringing those environmental factors together with pollen data, we’re taking the guesswork out of the moments that matter most to people’s daily routines. We want to help people understand why they feel bad and give them the clarity they need to know how to prepare for pollen conditions in the moments and days ahead.”

At the heart of the experience are new hyperlocal forecasts powered by pollen data provider Ambee. Where a single legacy reading previously blanketed an entire metropolitan area, continental U.S. consumers will now see more tailored pollen data and forecasts specific to the places they care about, such as their neighborhood, workplace or favorite outdoor spaces.

Available now in the free version of The Weather Channel app, the enhanced allergy experience includes:

• Weather Aggravator Insights™: Understand why your symptoms flare up on certain days with this proprietary feature developed by The Weather Company’s consumer weather science team. The new feature analyzes how weather conditions, like breezy winds or a drop in humidity, can cause airborne allergens to behave more aggressively.
• Neighborhood-Level Pollen Forecasts: Know what to expect in your ZIP code with hyperlocal pollen forecasts powered by an advanced gridded model zooming in to a 5km x 5km resolution.
• Peak Pollen Tracking: A daily readout of the peak pollen levels that are expected today, to capture the day’s highest fluctuation and help you plan effectively.
• Comparison to Yesterday: A simple, intuitive graphic that tells you if today’s risk is higher, lower, or the same as yesterday, eliminating the guesswork.
• Enhanced 5-Day Outlooks: Pollen tracking is now baked right into your standard 5-day weather forecast, making it easier to plan weekend trips or outdoor kids’ activities without toggling between screens.
• 10-Year Historical Data: Curious if your symptoms are peaking earlier this year? A net-new historical chart tracks a decade of local seasonal patterns, helping you cross-reference seasonal shifts, recognize localized patterns and anticipate month-over-month peaks in your hometown or next travel destination.

Coming Soon: Subspecies Details, Hourly Forecasts, and Interactive Map Layers

Later this summer, The Weather Channel Premium App will launch Subspecies Details, one of the app’s most requested features. Instead of generic “tree pollen” warnings, subscribers will see which particular tree pollens are present in the area, such as Cedar or Oak. The premium features will also include hourly pollen radar layers, hourly pollen forecasts over the next 24 hours and an integrated symptom tracker.

This launch builds on the recent introduction of the app’s new Activities feature, which allows users to create personalized forecast alerts for upcoming plans ranging from outdoor workouts to family events, with a personalized “You Hub” home screen experience coming soon. Together, these innovations underscore The Weather Channel app’s broader commitment to transforming weather data into personalized guidance, helping users make smarter and more informed decisions every day.

The enhanced allergy experience is available now in The Weather Channel app on iOS and Android, with additional premium features rolling out in the coming months. To download The Weather Channel app, visit the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and experience the latest personalized weather guidance features. For more information, visit weathercompany.com.

The Strategic Effort Begins with The Weather Company Licensing MITRE’s Weather 1K, One of the Highest Resolution AI Training Data Sets Publicly Available, to Improve National Forecast Accuracy

McLean, Va., Bedford, Mass., & Atlanta, April 23, 2026 – A new strategic collaboration between MITRE and The Weather Company (TWCo) aims to advance weather forecasting by incorporating high-resolution weather data into advanced AI-based forecasting tools. Increased detail and accuracy in forecasts could improve decision making for industry and government.

In the first phase of the ongoing relationship, The Weather Company will use MITRE’s Weather 1K, a high-resolution, continental weather artificial intelligence (AI) training data set built using MITRE’s Federal AI Sandbox, into its Global High-Resolution Atmospheric Forecasting system (GRAF®) to develop more accurate and detailed forecasts that bridge the gap between experimental technology and operational reality.

Created using publicly available data, Weather 1K provides weather state estimations across the continental United States with 1 km spatial resolution from sea level up to 62,000 feet in 10-minute time increments. This resolution allows for improved accuracy and confidence in forecasting. The data includes wind, temperature, pressure, and reflectivity. The high level of detail enables more accurate forecasting and awareness, with applications for agriculture, aviation, wildland fire, and other extreme weather events. MITRE, working with federal agencies, is using Weather 1K to develop advanced wildfire forecasting.

The novel weather data set, totaling roughly 7 petabytes, was developed in collaboration with NVIDIA’s Earth 2 team and used state-of-the-art weather modeling tools, including Tempoquest’s AceCast. It has been developed for next-generation, AI-driven forecast models, and continues to be enhanced and refined.

“Weather 1K is a tremendous technical achievement with national impact, possible only through deep collaboration with commercial industry and government,” said Mark Peters, president and CEO, MITRE. “We appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with The Weather Company and other industry partners, and we look forward to further engagements as we advance meaningful applications of weather intelligence.”

“Optimizing weather intelligence is a global challenge that no single organization can solve alone. By combining The Weather Company’s science expertise and operational scale with MITRE’s vast research resources, we’re moving the needle on what’s possible in weather forecasting,” said Dr. Peter Neilley, senior vice president of science and forecasting operations, The Weather Company. “High-resolution output requires high-resolution input. By feeding MITRE’s Weather 1K—among the highest resolution AI training data available—into our forecast research and development pipeline, we aim to develop the world’s first 1-km AI-based forecasting system. This would enable us to provide hyper-local, decision-specific weather forecasting intelligence in high-impact weather circumstances supporting personal, business, aviation, defense, and many other use cases.”

Researchers with The Weather Company and MITRE carefully evaluated the initial Weather 1k data set produced on MITRE’s Federal AI Sandbox. Built in partnership with NVIDIA and powered by an NVIDIA DGX H100 SuperPOD™ with 248 NVIDIA H100 GPUs and 9 PB of storage, the Sandbox gives MITRE, federal agencies, and industry partners like The Weather Company the experimental computing capacity to train and evaluate foundation AI models.

As a world leader in commercial weather forecasting solutions, The Weather Company is aggressively pursuing mission-specific weather solutions across the complex U.S. government landscape. MITRE and TWCo will continue to collaborate to advance the science of weather forecasting and pioneer new innovations to enable timely, accurate decision making for industry and government.
