Pollen allergy, sometimes called ragweed allergy, commonly occurs when the concentration of pollen, measured in pollen count, is high. Pollen count is high during mornings in dry and windy conditions. During cold and wet conditions, pollen count is low since moisture adds weight to pollen, allowing it to travel only short distances.

Ornamental flowering plants do not usually produce high concentration of pollen grains. Trees, grasses and weeds produce the most number of pollen.

Period when pollen count is high, people with pollen allergy is advised to stay indoors, and to make sure the windows are closed, and air conditioners have effective filters.
