Daily News | With Arizona-like dryness, brushfires are reported and pollen counts are up in the Philly region
On the third consecutive day of an ultra-dry air mass that felt as if it wandered in from Arizona, at least three brushfires were reported in the Philadelphia region and tree and grass pollens evidently had a field day.
“It’s certainly unusual,” said Alex Staarmann, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service Office in Mount Holly, “but not unprecedented.” Allergy sufferers might have needed some kind of advisory on Saturday. Both tree- and grass-pollen counts were “very high,” according to the Asthma Center, in Center City, which supplies daily counts to The Inquirer.
