SRQ Allergy & Asthma — Daily Pollen & Air Bulletin Sarasota, FL 34232 · Updated 5:00 AM EDT

Sarasota conditions report

Medium-High pollen in Sarasota, good air quality, high regional mold spores and high allergy-risk conditions today and Monday.

Take your antihistamine before heading out, not after symptoms start; run the AC rather than opening windows, and dry off after time outside; humidity is high enough to favor mold and dust mites indoors.

Learn what these terms mean
Pollen Airborne plant particles that can trigger sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, and asthma symptoms.
AQI Air Quality Index; higher scores mean more pollution that can irritate breathing and worsen asthma.
PM2.5 Fine particles that can reach deep into the lungs and worsen cough, wheeze, or asthma symptoms.
PM10 Larger airborne particles such as dust that can irritate the nose, throat, and breathing passages.
Ozone / O3 A gas that builds on sunny days and can inflame airways. Ozone is converted from µg/m³ to ppb for EPA category colors.
Dust Airborne dust can irritate eyes and airways and may carry allergens for dust-sensitive people.
Humidity High humidity encourages mold and dust mites and can make breathing feel heavier for some people.
Temperature Heat can worsen outdoor comfort and may amplify ozone exposure during peak afternoon hours.
Rain Rain can wash pollen down short-term but may raise mold risk afterward if humidity stays high.
Wind Wind can spread pollen, mold spores, and dust farther, increasing exposure outdoors.
UV UV is sun intensity; it does not cause allergies directly but affects outdoor safety and ozone formation.
Mold risk A flag for conditions that can increase mold exposure and trigger symptoms in mold-sensitive people.
