If you live in Temecula and find yourself sneezing, congested, or dealing with itchy eyes throughout the year, you’re not alone. Our region’s beautiful landscapes come with a not-so-beautiful side effect: seasonal allergies.
Temecula’s combination of grassy fields, blooming trees, and dry, breezy weather creates the perfect storm for pollen to travel far and wide. Understanding what’s in the air—and when—can help you manage your symptoms and enjoy life in wine country without the sniffles.
In the early months of the year, tree pollen tends to be the most active. Common culprits include oaks, sycamores, and pines, which release fine pollen particles into the air. This can lead to congestion, itchy eyes, and sinus pressure—especially in the morning or after time outdoors.
As spring moves into summer, grasses take over as a major allergy trigger. You may notice your symptoms spike after mowing the lawn, spending time in parks, or going on hikes. Windy days can make grass pollen spread even more widely across the valley.
Just when you think allergy season is over, fall brings another wave—thanks to weeds like ragweed and tumbleweed. Their pollen can stay airborne for days and often triggers cold-like symptoms, which many people confuse with seasonal illness.
Temecula sits in a valley, which means pollen tends to settle and linger—especially overnight. Combine that with dry, dusty conditions and inland winds, and you’ve got a recipe for year-round allergy potential. Even during the winter, some pollens remain active.
Here are a few simple steps you can take to reduce your symptoms:
Check local pollen forecasts before spending extended time outdoors.
Keep windows closed during high-pollen days and use filtered air conditioning.
Shower and change clothes after being outside to remove pollen.
Avoid outdoor activities in the early morning, when pollen counts are typically highest.
Use over-the-counter or prescription allergy medications as needed.
