Off Tempers Gentle breezes. The glory of spring and fall is usually the misery of the allergy sufferer. That's because dry, breezy weather is perfect for carrying airborne pollen everywhere, including to your nose. But if you know to avoid peak pollen times, it can help you get out and have a good time.
Mornings are toughest.
During the hours of 5 a.m. to 10 a.m., plants are producing pollen like crazy. Another heavy time is right before dusk. But you can still get that morning run in if you get going before the dew dries and pollen takes to the air. Windy days are the worst. The pollen that gets to you is very light and rides the wind.
