Over the past ten years, I have developed severe allergies, I know it's because California has no real cold or rainy seasons anymore. It is a beautiful place. However, It is warm here almost all the time, so something is constantly pollenating. I went to Colorado, and Wyoming, in July, had very little problems there. Nevada was good also. Las Vegas does have some smog, so if you are sensitive to smog, go more towards Reno. Also to the upper elevations. The East coast has too much rain, and dampness, so you get the mold spores, which many asthmatics have problems with. I heard this from a doctor that worked in one of the clinics in Washington. It's a shame because I was gonna try Washington, but it rains so much the mold is very high. So, my experience has been, for most people with allergies, you need a place where you get very defined seasons, Winter Cold for at least 4 months, (November thru mid March) then, Spring for 3 months, then summer for 3 months, then back to Fall, or October again. Anytime you have too many months of one temperature, whether it's heat, cold or humidity, it seems to cause more allergies. (It's almost like your body gets tired of it and reacts.) The season information mentioned above is all approximate of course, but this is very close to how the seasons were here when I was younger. My allergies were almost non-exsistent then. The hotter it gets, the worse I feel. The climate has definitely changed. This comment is for Linda, I have lived in San Jose also all my life.
