Hay fever warning as high pollen count forecast over Easter weekend

A four-day weekend is just around the corner, thanks to the Easter bank holidays on Friday April 7 and Monday April 10.

With some sunshine and mild temperatures due to make an appearance for the extended break, many people will want to make the most of time outdoors with friends and family. And now the UK has moved from Greenwich Mean Time to British Summer Time, it means we can enjoy the brighter evenings, with the sun setting at around 7.43pm from Friday.

As exciting as the warmer weather is, for many people it brings a seasonal struggle; hay fever. Pollen allergies can cause sufferers to have a runny nose, itchy eyes and sore throat. For people with asthma, it can exacerbate symptoms including a tight chest and wheezing.
