Allergies picking up again? Here's why

Fall elm is making an appearance as temperatures drop from summer highs.

AUSTIN, Texas — If you've been dealing with sniffles, sneezing or itchy eyes, have no fear because you are not alone.

As we head more into fall, allergens such as elm and ragweed return to the fray as temperatures drop from their summertime highs. Don't be surprised if you start to get that dreaded runny nose or itchy eyes.

This is especially true for Wednesday, with elm and ragweed, as well as mold, checked in the "medium" category.

Temperatures, which will remain in the 90s this week, don't factor much into which allergens appear during the year. But humidity can play a role in the appearance of certain allergens, especially mold, which tends to thrive in humid conditions.
