Managing Pollen in Charlotte
⏰
Best Time to Go Outside
Pollen in Charlotte peaks between 5–10 AM. Afternoon (after 3 PM) is the best time for outdoor activities on high-count days.
🌧️
After Rain Is Safe
Rain washes pollen out of the air. The hour after rain stops is one of the lowest-pollen times — but counts rebound quickly once it dries.
💊
Pre-Medicate, Don't React
Antihistamines and nasal sprays work much better when taken 30–60 minutes before going outside, not after symptoms start.
🚿
Shower After Being Outside
Pollen sticks to hair, skin, and clothes. Showering and changing clothes when you come inside prevents tracking pollen into your home.
