People with hay fever in Nottinghamshire will be among the worst hit by a so-called 'pollen bomb' due to hit the UK this weekend. The Met Office has warned that the Midlands will be the worst hit area as temperatures could reach 26C or 27C on Saturday.
Birmingham Live reports a warning has been issued with the pollen count expected to peak on June 13 with the warm, dry weather expected to last well into next week. The Met Office said hay fever sufferers can expect weeks of heightened symptoms.
The Midlands, south of England, Wales and Northern Ireland are expected to see the worst of the pollen surge - and levels could remain high for some time, the Met Office said. A yellow heat health alert has also been issued with temperatures expected to soar.
