Their spores float in the air like pollen, and are present throughout the year in many states. Unlike pollens, molds do not have a specific season, but are affected by weather conditions such as wind, rain or temperature. Outdoor mold spores begin to appear after a spring thaw and reach their peak in July in warmer states and October in the colder states. Molds can be found all year long outdoors in the South and on the West coast. Resources about molds: The National Allergy Bureau FAQs About Molds The Allergy Report – Molds/Fungi  Outdoor Allergens Tip Brochure Please visit an allergist for more information on allergic disease and your individual medical condition.
