Met Office issues pollen count update and it's bad news for hay fever sufferers
The Met Office has issued a warning to anyone who suffers from hay fever as high levels of pollen are expected to remain over the coming weeks. Sneezing and coughing, a runny or blocked nose and itchy, red or watery eyes are all common signs of hay fever.
The Met Office said that even more people will begin to suffer from hay fever as the tree pollen season ends and transitions into the grass pollen season. Spokesman Grahame Madge told the PA news agency: “We are now getting into grass season. With it being so dry across the UK, it means grasses are able to shed pollen.“For sufferers, hay fever has been a feature of the last few days and will continue to be a feature for sufferers over the next few days and weeks.
She added: “I think there are lots of theories about why has been so bad. The prolonged cold weather and then the sudden explosion of warm weather has led to very high counts of pollen.”
