With an early spring across the country and pollen already becoming an issue for some we wanted to gauge if hay fever season was kicking in early too.

Some people don’t suffer at all from pollen but many others do and sometimes it can be just something small like an itchy throat, red watery eyes, or sneezing. For others it can be quite debilitating and medication may be required.

The worst days for pollen are mild, windy, days especially later into spring (October especially) so the calmer and more average-temperature week ahead may be your biggest friend if you’re an allergy sufferer.
