The weather plays a significant role when it comes to seasonal allergies.
Wind
Wind plays a large role in determining how much your allergies will act up. Windy conditions cause greater pollen and mold distribution and that leads to an increase in allergy symptoms. Plant pollens carried by the wind are the cause of most nose, eye, and lung allergic reactions. Hay fever sufferers seem to be especially affected by windy, dry conditions.
RainRain can bring welcome relief for allergy sufferers, if it rains heavy enough that is. Light rain does little to reduce the pollen in the air. On the other hand, a good heavy rain can clean the air for the hours during and after it falls.
In the springtime, rain can help reduce tree pollen counts. However, wet conditions trigger grass growth, and consequently, more grass pollen in the late spring and early summer. Rain in the fall or winter can lead to greater tree pollen counts the following spring.
Smog
Air pollution has been shown to worsen allergies and asthma symptoms. Recent research has also shown that ozone can cause a chronic inflammation of the airways for asthma sufferers. The effects of pollutants are usually not felt by those affected until one or two days after exposure. Some scientists also believe that exposure to diesel engine exhaust can increase a person's sensitivity to pollen or dust mites.
Cold
The onset of cooler weather can be bad news for some asthma and eczema sufferers. A sudden drop in temperature can trigger asthma attacks while colder, drier weather often makes atopic eczema worse.
Fluctuating winter temperatures can also cause cold-induced urticaria, or hives. Hives can develop when skin is exposed to cold or warmed after exposure to cold. On a positive note, a late season freeze following a mild winter can reduce a tree's pollen production.
Heat
A mild winter can cause trees to pollinate earlier and could bring an early start to the allergy season. Mild and warm weather that continues in the spring also can increase pollen counts.
Mild winters can also cause misery for those allergic to mold. A combination of mild weather and rains can lead to an increase in mold spore counts. Finally, a sudden increase in temperature can trigger asthma attacks.
