Dallas, TX Mountain cedar Pollen
Mountain cedar pollen in Dallas usually peaks around January, reaching Very High at its worst. Dallas-Fort Worth catches a bit of everything Texas throws at it: cedar blown up from the Hill Country on north winds in winter, a strong oak and grass spring, and a long ragweed fall.
Mountain cedar isn't native to North Texas, but north winds carry it up from central Texas from late December into February, and on the worst days counts climb sharply over the metroplex.

Managing mountain cedar season in Dallas
If mountain cedar is your trigger, start a daily antihistamine like cetirizine (Zyrtec) or loratadine (Claritin) a week or two before the January peak, rather than waiting for symptoms. Keep windows closed on high-count mornings, shower and change clothes after time outside, and run the AC on recirculate in the car.
When symptoms don't ease with over-the-counter medicine, an allergist in Texas can test whether mountain cedar is really what you react to and talk through longer-term options like allergy shots.
