Met Office predicts 'pollen bomb' meaning hay fever sufferers will have miserable start to the week

The Met Office has issued a warning to anyone who suffers from asthma as pollen levels across the country are set to climb at the start of the week.

Pollen counts are reaching very high levels in Bristol tomorrow (April 17) and will continue to remain elevated for the first half of the week.

The Met Office said that tree pollen levels are currently high as a result of recent mild weather with particles from birch, plane, willow, ash and a little oak proliferating in the southwest along with fungal spores pleospora, which is in peak season, aspergillus and penicillium.
