With spring pollen levels expected to be at their highest since 1951, the UK may experience temperature above 23-degree celsius.
Weather experts have issued a warning saying that people may get confused between coronavirus and hay fever.
Additionally, doctors said that cold spell delayed the trees’ pollen release last week. This means a sharper and more condensed pollen season can be expected this year.
This week, tree pollen level is expected to hit hard in all of the UK except Scotland and the far north of England. The worst can be expected after Easter.
Industry leaders have also said that the grass pollen will kick off at its highest in May and climax in June. The temperature this week is expected to reach between 23-degree Celsius and 24-degree Celsius along with a blast of African heatwave across the UK.
According to the experts, three out of ten Brits may suffer from this hay fever. NHS suggests people wear wraparound sunglasses, showering after going outside, changing their clothes, and staying inside when the pollen counts are at its peak.
The chief pollen forecaster at National Pollen and Aerobiology Research Unit, Dr Beverley Adams-Groom said that the country could expect to see tree pollen reaching its highest level since the last recorded high in 1951.
She further added that hay fever could be miserable and weakening, and its symptoms include itchy and running eyes, a runny nose, sore throat, congestion, etc.
The most common symptoms of coronavirus are cough and fever, but those are not common for hay fever. If people have any doubts with regards to symptoms, they can check on the NHS coronavirus webpage.
The forecast also added the Birch tree pollen would see a massive rise in majority parts of the UK from mid-April.
