hay fever

Darren says hay fever could also be an issue for pupils, particularly those sitting exams.

This year the warm weather in the UK, plus last year's too, means conditions have been ideal for birch tree pollen - a major hay fever trigger.

Grass pollen also peaks in June, often making this a miserable time of year for hay fever sufferers.

It affects about 95% of hay fever sufferers and is at its peak from now until July.

Pollen levels are expected to be high or very high over the next few days which means more bad news for hay fever sufferers after a severe start to the pollen season.
