Experts warn hay fever symptoms could spike over next few days

While many people will be looking forward to the warmer weather in the UK, it can be a nightmare for those suffering from hay fever, warns experts.

Rising temperatures may cause tree pollen levels to rise all across the country, especially over the next few days. The Met Office predicts that the first week of spring will see dry, sunny weather with daytime temperatures sitting comfortably in the mid to late teens.

But, it is also believed that climate change may lead to the grass and tree pollen season lasting longer than usual. Furthermore, those who suffer from hay fever believe pollution (64 per cent), rising temperatures (52 per cent) and extreme weather conditions (38 per cent) are the biggest environmental factors impacting their allergies, Wales Online reports.
