Last year my spring allergies started pretty much the first day of the season (Northern NJ, bad place for tree pollen). This year, they barely started in mid April at the beginning of the season and stayed pretty low key until today, May 10th, and all of a sudden they are disastrous. How come my allergies didn’t fully blossom until today even though the pollen counts have been higher this year?
It all depends upon which tree you are specifically allergic to…it may be late blooming this year. Different weather patterns will bring out one specific plant one day and another a different day. Some news/weather channels will show when pollen will be especially bad that day, but not being from where you are I wouldn’t know the channels.
