Sizzling hot summer: How does it affect your allergies?

On July 7, record-breaking, triple-digit temperatures flourished across the Northeastern states. According to The Vancouver Sun, British Columbia experienced record-high, sizzling heat as well.

The heat wave started in the spring, with reports such as the Richmond-Times Dispatch in its April 8 post that “High temperatures trigger high pollen counts.”

Here in the South-central area, triple-digit heat is not uncommon, though in many areas we seem to be experiencing more of a rainy season than usual this year. Higher temps are much harder to tolerate here, with the high humidity of this area, than a similar temperature in a more dry area such as the Southwestern states.
