Many people who suffer with hayfever are feeling it more than usual right now. Wales has experienced a particularly long dry spell of weather which is contributing to high levels of pollen in the air.
According to the Met Office, there are a number of perfect conditions for pollen to thrive. For grass, temperatures between 18 - 28 °C could give a high count if it’s a dry day with low humidity and a gentle breeze.
The pollen forecast for Wales for the next few days is very high, with grass pollen in its "peak". The pollen count is predicted to reach a peak on Tuesday, June 13, although the Met Office is warning sufferers to prepare for weeks of hay fever, as we move into “grass season”.
