Barometric pressure : It is likely the changes in barometric (air pressure) is affecting you. Talk with your physician about prescription nasal sprays that can keep open your nose and make you less likely to have problems with barometric changes.

Allergies: Well, if you do have allergic rhinitis, then your nose is sensitive to certain particles in the air. Any time the weather changes, allergen concentration changes and that may either increase or weaken your symptoms.
