Allergies are the most The nasal allergic condition is known as allergic rhinitis and it can be triggered by indoor or outdoor allergens. Some people have both, indoor and outdoor allergies. The common outdoor allergens include pollen from grass, trees, ragweed, weeds and mold spores. The indoor allergy triggers are mainly in the form of dust mites, pet dander, cockroaches and mold spores.
Short term rain is a blessing. The outdoor pollen usually settles down with rain and it spells relief for many allergy sufferers. Ongoing rain, followed by dry, warmer weather allows higher amount of pollen to circulate in the air which will increase allergy symptoms. If the moisture from the rain is allowed to affect the home or indoor environment, it can increase mold growth, exposure and allergy symptoms.

Continued running of humidifiers despite the high moisture in the air during the rainy days, will add the possibility of mold growth.
