Hay fever suffers can expect a slight relief over the weekend as the Met Office predicts there will be a slight decrease in the pollen count. Wales has been experiencing very high levels of pollen for the last few weeks due to the hot and dry weather.
Hay fever sufferers have reported that their symptoms are far worse than normal for this time of year with few people able to get any sort of relief from medications and remedies. For those of you struggling these are the remedies scientists say actually work while some experts also recommend specific foods to help. And there are also several lesser-known hay fever symptoms which you can read about here.
The Met Office combines data from its weather service with expertise from organisations such as the National Pollen and Aerobiological Unit to produce a pollen forecast for the whole of the UK. The outlook for the coming days shows that while pollen count is expected to decrease it likely won't be enough to make a significant difference to people suffering with the symptoms.
