Sunny weather, beautiful plant life, and warm temperatures are what we appreciate living in Boynton Beach and South Florida in general. No winter worries, accept for those few chillier than normal days each year. Although we are fortunate to live this tropical lifestyle, there is a downside to our climate. Allergies are something that many Boynton Beach residents have to endure throughout the year.
When is Allergy Season in South Florida?
Unlike most allergy seasons in the US, our warmer weather and long summer cause flowers to bloom longer and continue producing pollen long after their northern cousins have stopped. In fact, allergy season in Boynton Beach can last from spring well into fall!
