I guess I should haver been more specific. I have a brother in-law who left Florida and moved to Surprise, Az. and said it cured his allergy problems. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
....I hate to tell you: this means NOTHING for your specific situation. No 2 people on Earth have the same allergies. There are hundreds (or, thousands) of airborne allergens in any given place on Earth. One person could be allergic to 3 allergens at Location X, and move to Location Y with few if any issues. Then, another person living in the same environment can have similar (but not the same) allergens, and moves to the same Location Y, and can have/will/may develop allergies to allergens there, too. There aren't ANY guarantees!
I read an exhaustive epidemiological paper done on allergies (airborne) in Mexico and the American Southwest, and unfortunately, allergies are increasing at an alarming rate both in Mexico and the Southwest US. As environments change radically (much hotter and longer and windier winter seasons in the Southwest and Mexico, as an example), allergens will change, increase, decrease, extending, shortening by today's unpredictable season.
If you do manage to find an "ideal locale during a particular season", count yourself lucky; however(!), don't be surprised if new or even traditional allergens (extending seasons) rear their ugly heads over time!
