Discussion
Based on past pollen counts and expected weather conditions, pollen levels for Monday will be falling in the moderate range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this decrease is due in part to falling temperatures and heavy rains in the morning and evening which tend to wash pollen out of the air.
Allergy Facts
Mountainous regions may serve as allergy havens. Their high altitude does not permit many allergenic plants to grow, and their isolated location reduces outside pollen contamination to a minimum. A vacation to the mountains during peak allergy season may be a good idea for individuals suffering from hay fever.
