    Dr. Larry Chiaramonte answered:
    Outdoor mold levels are highest when it is warm and humid: June to October in most parts of the U.S., and mold-allergic asthmatics often have worse symptoms during these times. Take care on those camping vacations!

    However, dry weather conditions do not eliminate the possibility of mold exposure since some important outdoor molds predominate during dry weather, especially when it is windy.
