Spring in Calgary means chinook winds, warming temperatures, and unfortunately for many residents — allergy season. Tree pollen (birch, poplar, and elm) hits hard from April through June, followed by grass pollen in summer.
Common Spring Allergy Symptoms
- Sneezing and nasal congestion
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Scratchy throat
- Fatigue and headaches
