What to do

Very high grass pollen risk today. Make this a take-action day if hay fever affects you.

  • Keep windows closed when you can, especially morning and evening.
  • Avoid mowing, parks, and drying washing outside.
  • Wind is likely to move pollen around more than usual, so symptoms can show up away from obvious green spaces.
  • Little rain is expected, so pollen is less likely to be washed out of the air.
Antihistamine?Use your usual prevention before symptoms start.
