pollen count in your area? http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/pollen/
my region is a few facts: During the spring months the main problem for hay fever sufferers is tree pollen. Some types such as alder and hazel, can be in the air as early as January. These types are followed by elm, willow and ash in March. Pollen from these trees affects only a small percentage of hay fever sufferers but can cause symptoms in some allergic people. The pollen from silver birch trees is the most important tree pollen type for hay fever sufferers and usually occurs in April. This pollen type affects about 25% of hay fever sufferers. The season usually lasts for about four weeks and counts will be high on dry, warm days with some wind in areas where there are birch trees. The birch tree pollen season is followed by the oak tree pollen in late April and early May, although oak affects fewer sufferers than birch. The most important pollen type for hay fever sufferers in the UK is grass pollen. This season starts in late May and continues through to mid August, with the main peak occurring usually in June and a second smaller peak typically occurring in early July. About 95% of hay fever sufferers are allergic to grass pollen. The amount of grass pollen in the air can differ a lot from day to day and even within days depending on the weather. Weed pollens affect a small amount of sufferers from June to September with a peak in August. The pollen index changes emphasis slightly during the season to reflect the predominant types of pollen: | |
